    How to write a Burmese address

    A beautiful star of Southeast Asia, Burma (also known as Myanmar) is home to over 2,000 Buddhist temples that have inspired people from all around the world. The amazing landscape has been featured in hundreds of films, including "Rambo," "Gandhi," and "Drive Angry."

    But if you're looking to learn how to write a Burmese address, you're probably less interested in the movies and more interested in the Burmese address envelope format. The Burma mailing address format is pretty straightforward, especially when compared to the mailing format of other Asian countries. Below, you'll find several address examples for you to follow, or you can run your address through Smarty's international Burma address format tool and have it organized correctly for you.

    1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region.
    2. Building number and street - List one after the other without separating punctuation marks like commas or hyphens.
    3. Region - The general region that your address is in goes on this line.
    4. City and postal code - The city or township goes on the same line as the five-digit postal code.
    5. Country - Lastly, list the country code, which is MMR.
