Excellent article and photographs. I’m visiting Yangon in November 2016, and am passionate about architectural heritage and decay (see @adamxphotos on Instagram) – please can you advise how you got permission to photograph inside? Best wishes, Adam

  Thanks Adam. You’ll love Yangon’s colonial buildings! I was able to visit inside because I work for the company that are carrying out restoration work there. Generally this site is not possible to visit.
  Happy travels in Myanmar!
  Cheers,
  Juan
