I just come back also from Myanmar and it was the same for me. Add to this that you can pay ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE by CC, you cannot avoid to carry cash and to bring it with you from where you're coming from. You cannot take the risk to arrive without cash and discover that the very few ATMs available do not work or refuse your card for whatever reason.
