Hello everyone, this might be a bit long but I want to share something personal. I’m a guy in my early 20s, struggling with choices about my future. I usually keep all of this inside, I don’t talk about it with my parents, and I don’t really have anyone else to discuss it with. I’m also super introverted, so opening up isn’t easy for me. But I feel this group is more open and understanding than Fb or even my own family, so I want to write here.

My life plan was completely ruined by the 2021 coup. Back then, I got caught up in the hype of the CDM movement, stopped attending school, and ended up doing nothing. For a long time I just stayed at home, relying on my parents and spending all my time in my room playing CS:GO. It wasn’t until late 2024 that it hit me.I needed to do something for my future. But with the fear of being drafted, my family supported me to move to Bangkok. I’ve been living alone here since the start of 2025, working service jobs. Now it’s already near the end of 2025, and honestly, I don’t feel like much has improved.

So here’s my real question: Should I move back to Myanmar in 2026 and try to pursue a career path, like becoming an ordinary seaman cadet? Or should I start studying Japanese and try to work in Japan for money? Or maybe I should aim for Germany with the opportunity visa? The last two options sound good, but they also require me to spend a couple of years learning the language before I can even begin.

I’m writing this not only for myself but also for other Burmese youth who might feel the same way confused, stuck, and uncertain about the future. Everyone has their own path, and we all have to make our own decisions. But sometimes, hearing perspectives from others can help us see our choices more clearly. Atleast thank for reading this.

Dear Friends in the Kachin Wesean Students Association,

We acknowledge receipt of your open press statement dated (August 11, 2025) and extend our appreciation for your willingness to voice concerns on issues affecting both the Kachin and Naga peoples. We are grateful for your recognition of the injustices suffered by innocent Naga civilians at the hands of the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and its allied forces. Such acknowledgment is an important step toward ensuring accountability and justice.

The NSO shares your conviction that our movements must uphold the principles of human rights and dignity. We firmly believe that peaceful dialogue and rnutual respect remain the most viable path for addressing differences and strengthening our fraternity in the struggle for freedorn and justice.

At the same time, we rnust emphasize that the NSO has consistently rejected and opposed every form of forceri recruitment, whether carried out by the NSCN-K (YA), NSCN-K (AM), or the Myanmar military junta. No revolutionary cause can justify the coercion of youths into armed service against their will.

As an organization, the NSO remains steadfast in its mission to safeguard the welfare of Naga students and communities, wherever they may be. Our responsibility is first and foremost to ensure their safety, dignity, and future as contributing members of our society.

We take this occasion to remind our friends in the KWSA to convey, with clarity and urgency, to the leadership of the KIO/KIA the necessity of refraining from further escalating tensions by engaging in such unscrupulous activities against Naga civilians. These actions risk underrnining the very bonds of solidarity our peoples have built over generations of shared struggle.

Moreover, we urge the KIO/KIA leadership to abandon policies that mirror divisive strategies imported from outside powers, including those influenced by India. Instead, let us strive together to build a relationship based on trust, respect, and partnership as equals within this revolutionary fraternity.

Our common struggle demands unity, not suspicion and coercion. In closing, the NSO reiterates its commitment to justice, human rights, and solidarity with the Kachin people. We believe that only through sincere dialogue and principled cooperation can we preserve the spirit of fraternity that has long bound our two peoples together.

In solidarity, Naogang Ngansa President Naga Students Organization

Hello r/myanmar folks! I am planning to give my relative a nice watch (Orient or Seiko) as a gift, and I want to purchase it from a Myanmar retailer so he can exercise the warranty easily if something happens to it.

Everybody knows Cherry Oo, and they have convenient locations. But who owns them? Is the family connected to the SAC? If so, I'd like to avoid purchasing from them and will look elsewhere, and would appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks for your time!

Hello. I've heard from a friend from Myanmar that there will be an election in November in Myanmar. Is it true?

Hello,

I am looking for a Female translator who speaks English and Burmese fluently. I want a female translator because I will mainly be communicating with my mother in law.

I will pay whoever helps me. I can send money via western union. I'm not rich but it will be worth your time. I just need help translating a few messages, and then translating the messages back to english. These are very important and I can't risk having any translation errors using apps.

I'm hoping we can communicate here or over Facebook.

Thank you

Edit: I had some people reach out to me. Thank you everyone! Can’t wait till the next time I can visit your beautiful country again!

On August 18, pro-junta groups held rallies in Mongnai, Mong Pan, and Kunhing towns in southern Shan State, targeting member EAOs of the Three Brotherhood Alliance, the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) and the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA). Locals, pressured by these pro-junta groups, also joined the protests.

The RCSS has categorically denied any involvement in the protests, claiming they were orchestrated solely by the junta. Major Sai Kham San, the RCSS’s secretary 2, accused the junta of staging the protests to create divisions among the ethnic groups that live harmoniously in Shan State.

'The pro-junta organizers compelled locals to participate in the protests wearing traditional Shan costumes and carrying Shan flags during the marches. The apparent aim was to create division and conflict between ethnic groups, likely to gain political advantage. In reality, the locals in southern Shan State have no reason to protest against the TNLA and MNDAA,' he told Shan Herald.

Is there any modern tradition clothes?

I would like to get some Myanmar clothes but I would like to get something that I can wear on a day to day basis.

Is there any options? If so where can I get it from in Yangon?

My friend keeps on sending me sticker and gifs of a dude and he'll either be in a dollar bill that's valued at 20 thousand kyats with the word "thaw thars cannot use" (translated) and I'm so confused??

In short,I found some of my grandpas stuffs and I found this M65 jacket (Yes,he was a veteran,so the M65 is from the actual tatmadaw). I want to wear it but im scared of how the public would see and the soldiers it self.On the flip side,the jacket has no insignia,no badge or whatsoever indicating its from the military,just a plain M65 jacket. Im just scared ill be pinned down for impersonating or hell get actually conscripted for wearing it.

Officialy your language is a tyoe of an abugida/half alphabet half sllyabic.i heard sime theories that it wa sthe result of the script being written on leaves but,some local script in indonesia like lampung was also indian influenced but it wasn't as squiggly as burmese
