:
- Travel by plane
is safe and comfortable, you can also move between the provinces of Myanmar by bus.
you should bring warm clothes as there are buses running at night, the air in
the car is very cold. Taxis are convenient transportation in the city.
Meanwhile, the train system degradation and streets have not fully developed
making rail vehicles and motorcycles are not suitable for ordinary tourists.
- Taxi from the airport
into the city Yangon 10 USD / 2-3 people / vehicles and accept dollars.
Resort hotels
- Resort hotels in Myanmar are generally higher prices
than other countries in the region, but the quality of service, are not equal.
The reason may be due to the slow economic development and the tourist
authorities high toll.

want to Myanmar,
you should try the curry dishes are related easier to eat.
- Maybe you do not
believe, but we felt the food at the rest station on the intercity bus tastier
when eaten in restaurants in major cities. You should try eat Chinese Food at
the rest stations. Other than the main dish, drink in Myanmar are
very tasty and appetizing especially fruit juices, fruit with very cheap prices.
- When you come here you should eat or drink
with his right hand, because the concept of Myanmar, left hand works for the
personal hygiene.
- A typical meal here with rice, fish, meat,
vegetables and soup. Myanmar
people used to hold hands vo round then eat rice with vegetables. Guests should
note, the Buddhists often avoid beef and Muslims do not eat pork.
- When you
want the attention to service personnel,
who often kissed Myanmar

SOME
CAUTION WHEN YOU TRAVEL IN MYANMAR
:
- You try to
register in advance all possible services as : ( such as bus tickets, taxis,
carriages, ks ... ) will be a good and proactive cost.
- In Myanmar was cut
almost all ties because I signed roaming the morning Vinaphone but no signal.
Sim phones in Myanmar can
not be used because it uses CDMA network, sim phones can not be used on the
Global System for Mobil ( GSM ) of me, if you want to use sim Myanmar 's best
to carry one handset Code Division Multiple Access ( CDMA ) or buy sim 2
network using both $ 100.
- Wifi network has coverage in most tourist cities, but only at the Yangon airport really high-speed network, while in other
places is very low network
- Note you should
not change money at the airport and in the street because the price is not good,
especially with the moneychangers in the street, they will initially higher bid,
but would gutted bunch of money, maybe missing 5 to 7 sheets, while you count
your cash do they always neglect to confusion, and also many other reasons why
you are disadvantaged. you should be very careful when you change money from
the money exchange hands on the road, you should not put your money in advance,
so carefully counted money Kyat, when you get enough money, and at that time
you just pay USD
- Your better off
just changing money at the bank, the exchange rate is not much damage .You can change in motels, hotels or some exchange offices
in Boyoke Aung San Market. you can use
the money Kayat as taxis, buses , meals and purchase conventional ( small
amounts ), paying large amounts Usd for hotels, tickets visit.
- In Myanmar you can consume in USD and
kyat, however, the dollar has not always been well accepted people. Most of you
will have to use cash kyat.
-
Taxis in Yangon you can bargain, from
500-1000Kyat, the taxi drivers here do not speak overvalued or go around, so
you can rest assured ..
-
In Myanmar
there are not many ATMs should bring cash is still the most common way.
- You should buy gifts at the market Byogoke (
in Yangon ) or the airport, if bought at the market, do not hesitate Boygoke
wandering and haggling about ten rows before deciding to buy, here it is
sometimes the price is also very land.
-
In Myanmar you can only use cash should try holding a lot of money, because if
unfortunately you have $ 100 Your particular change is denied because curling,
because folding or as pens marked on it, you will it must tighten spending.
- Myanmar is a Buddhist country so you should note that the
costumes and your gestures while visiting the temple, temple. Do not touch and
do not be pointing fingers at the statues. In the temple should not be said out
loud.
-
Currently Myanmar has opened relatively wide, the problem was filmed and
photographed more open, at tourist attractions, you can freely take pictures, some
of which you should be aware if you have been not allowed to take pictures (especially
the point relating to political, security ). Some toll gate taking photos, you
just pay the full fee, and of course you are comfortable when shooting.
-
Check the domestic airline tickets online at ( cheap airline tickets ):
- Tip booked agoda said above: note that check the rates on the last day
before going to the end of time can seem special, and login before agoda price
check for possible price for the member.
