An indispensable reference guide for professionals – entrepreneurs and managers alike – working in the Myanmar context.

Hana Bui presents a wealth of authentic stories and draws accurate conclusions regarding Myanmar’s business culture from these. The book provides fundamental factors for successfully navigating expatriate assignments in Myanmar. Felix Haas, Independent Public and Private Consultant
It is practical in its approach, with emphasis on observation and reflection. It provides guidance of how to handle situations that arise due to the culture and experiences of the local population. You, as the foreigner, must learn to adapt and do not expect to change the local behavior overnight.
I’d recommend it to anyone going to Myanmar! Donald W. Conrad, Ex – ORT Sr. Technical Advisor, Myanmar National Skills Development Training Program

This is a live story of stories about Myanmar! I can feel Hana Bui’s passion, dedication, and love in every here and there of the book. Among all the real-life examples, practical lessons and essential advice, one notable thing for expats to succeed in Myanmar, as the book points out, is that being trustworthy is a must-have thing!.

It answers the question “How to work well with the Burmese?”. It is thanks to her time of living and working with local people in Myanmar, her educational background, and her survey of over 150 expats and local professionals.

The book explains very well about our culture and people. It contains a lot of interesting information, stories, and useful guidelines for expats to work in harmony with locals.
If expats (and locals also) spend time to read this book and apply its suggestions, I believe communication between expats and locals in the workplace will be much improved, and so is the business performance. There are many times that my local colleagues and I wish that expats would understand Myanmar country and people better. Then we would do our best to support our foreign managers.
