Matukad Island - Caramoan - Camarines Sur - Philippines

Matukad Island offers a wonderful combination of the great features of other beaches. Its sandy beach can be compared to Boracay; its limestone cliffs are like those in Palawan; and its location in a group of islands is similar to that of Hundred Islands. It is located across the popular Gota Beach, which is the location shoot for the TV show Survivor. I like how the island is undeveloped and that it will remain that way.

From Matukad, Laos Island can be found nearby. This is quite a unique place because it has two beach coves that face different sides of the island. You can stand in the middle of the intersection of the beach and you'll have different beach views on your left and on your right. Two limestone cliffs anchor the beach, adding to a visual feast you'll never forget.

Myanmar - (Burma) South East Asia

Myanmar

Myanmar, once called Burma, is one of ASEAN countries, sharing borders with Bangladesh, India, China, Laos and Thailand. With a total land area of 676, 577 sq. km, the country stretches over 2090 km from north to south and over 925 km east to west. It has a 2832 km long coastline on the Indian Ocean and over 50% of its total land area covered with forest.

Myanmar has a rich cultural and historical heritage with great places to visit like the glittering Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon (Rangoon) and Bagan. 


The natural environment is equally brilliant with many parts of the country still covered in rainforest while rice paddy fields dominant much of the remainder. More than 100 different national races exhibit many unique characteristics.
