Somsai - you're right but sometimes its hard to resist the temptation.....on our last trip my husband bought a little girl some food becasue she was asleep in the street at night.....rather than eat the food she turned up later in the night with it in her basket of wares. I'm not sure about Myanmar but our experience of other places is its often the parents pushing the kids to both beg and sell.
mose......paranoid much??? If you click on my name you'll find I've been a member for some time. I was also female last time I checked. But you'll be relieved to know I'll no longer be visiting this forum. I expected people here to be a little more open minded and non-judgmental.

Let's see-- bought a Myanmar Tourex package tour, paid extra for an visa on arrival (and received "special" tratment from the gov't officials at immigration), and stayed at 4 star hotels pre-arranged by Myanmar Tourex. Good thing none of the $$$ spent in this trip ended up in Gov't pockets.
