I've been to Myanmar, and have quite a few connections there. It's worth noting that the whole "opening" started taking place after a visit from the IMF team, followed by H. Clinton. My take: unsuspecting people will soon learn the hard way what debt slavery is. Jim Rogers and the likes will simply try to profit from the process.
As for the OP, it is an interesting idea: a level ground for electronic payments right now. The infrastructure is crumby indeed, but has vastly improved over the past year or so. Few days ago I had a perfectly clear skype video from Yangon - which used to be unthinkable. Also, remittance is a big thing since so many live abroad.
If you are contemplating a bitcoin-related business in Myanmar, PM me with questions.

Thanks for the response! that is great that you have connections there. I was thinking would it be worthwhile maybe crowdsource/bounty a physical store in Myanmar introducing the populace to bitcoin? Sort of become the "western union" of bitcoin? I mean even if you get some kiosk or "hut" at like $300 a mo. the community would support it and maybe even get a little return on it. IPO it on GLSBE.
Thoughts?
I agree Myanmar would be perfect place to showcase the bitcoin blockchain. I am starting up something there in Jan and I need the support from you guys. The people may be naive but that shouldn’t be an opportunity for Jim or someone to take advantage of ... No matter how naive Myanmar people will remember to those who benefitted them. From Judson to Dr Luce and a few other American missionaries are still well remembered for the good-will genuine help that they brought in for the people.
Myanmar people will love that bitcoin’s main idea of by the people for the people and of the people
