If you wish to practice for more than a month you will need to arrange a special meditation visa from the meditation centre beforehand. All the centres listed below have an ongoing meditation schedule, so you can go there at any time of the year. Activities such as speaking, reading, writing and listening to tapes, etc. are squarely discouraged. Usually there is a daily, or occasional, Dhamma Talk by the Abbot known as the Sayadaw. All the listed centres below have excellent facilities for men and women meditators.
Some single accommodation is available.
Boiled water is supplied. The hygiene is good. If you stay in Rangoon there is no danger of malaria and the centres supply mosquitos net as well as bedding,etc. Food, although oily, is of high quality with a great variety of dishes. Perhaps the only negative is that the Rangoon meditation centres are noisy, although a few have established forest mediation centres on the outskirts of Rangoon.
