Photos: Best of Myanmar

More often than not, our editors return from trips with hundreds – if not thousands – of photos. As was the case with his recent trip to Myanmar, Andrew Harper snapped an abundance of beautiful pictures that couldn’t fit into the pages (print or web) of the April 2016 Hideaway Report. Experience Myanmar – a country that has remained substantially unchanged since the 1960s – through Mr. Harper’s lens, below.
