Religion of Specific Business Contacts : Some of the business contacts that you may be trying to meet in Myanmar, may belong to a religious group that is not common in Myanmar, and therefore which is not included in the above list of public holidays or bank holidays. To be safe, you should also verify that no major religious holidays coincides with any planned business trip to Myanmar.

Religious Holidays : Public holidays in Myanmar that are based on certain religious calendars may be subject to local variations due to differing interpretations between different religious authorities, or to seemingly arbitrary changes in the date a holiday is celebrated because it conflicts with another holiday that is based on another calendar, or because the day of the holiday is deemed inauspicious (bad luck). To find out more about these uncertainties, see the footnote below, if any, for each specific religion.

Burmese and Arakanese Calendars Public Holidays : The rules used to predict traditional lunar public holidays in Myanmar are based on the models described in the book "The Calendrical Systems of Mainland South-East Asia", by J.C. Eade, published as part of the "Handbuch der Orientalistik" series (with help by Pr. by J.C. Eade and Dr. Burghart Hoffrichter), and on the classical 1901 book "The Burmese Calendar" by A.M.B. Irwin, the 1909 book "The Burmese and Arakanese Calendars" by A.M.B. Irwin, as well as the 1997 articles in the Indian Journal of History of Science by G.K. Chatterjee.
