I’ve been to burma in 1985. It is clear that you are supporting the government if you go. but you are also supporting the people there by buying their food and items and handicrafts. It may be a little, but a little goes a long way there. I also talked to native Burmese without any government spies around and it gave the a chance to tell their story about the corruption of the government. I saw soldiers smuggling in items on the burmese airlines we were supposed to be travling on. I assume these were coming in from thailand. People there are very friendly. This is an incredible country to travel in and would be a wonderful destination if the government was more open. I wish the best for the people there
