mine took a day to process.

Hi guys, just back from Myanmar yesterday night. I spend 8 days in Myanmar. The area i visited was 14-16 (Hpa-An), 16-17(Golden Rock) & 17-21 (Yangon).
We are all in 8 pax. We hired Mr Zaw Hein as our tour guide. He is good in english & able to explain the cultural of Myanmar. I will honestly suggest him as a tour guide for rural area like Hpa-An, Bago, Pegu, Thanlyin etc, but not in Yangon city. This is because in Yangon it is easy to get transport.
Hpa-An is famous with its Caves. We visited few caves there, including Shan Cave (Cave which later need to come out with small boat under the cave), Bayin Nyi Cave (Cave with Hot spring), YathaePyan Cave (Cave with a big lake at the back) & Kaw Goon Cave (Cave with Temple 7 AD (century)- it is a must go cave). We spend 2days 2 nights at Hpa-An(We reach Hpa-An around 10.30am local time). On 16.12.2017 we went to Golden Rock. On the way we turn into Bago (an old capital for Myanmar). We visit the palace of those famous emperor (but need to buy tickets - around 20,000 kyat). We stop at Pegu for fisherman house visit. Lastly on 16 we went up to Golden Rock. It is a must visit place of Myanmar. Experience the scary rollercoaster truck. On 17 we went to yangon. Yangon is a big city. The population around 5 to 6 million. The problem of Yangon is the traffic.
If you guys want you can contact Mr Zaw Hein @ 09-5039504 (please add the country code before then follow the number)

Hi, I will be traveling to Yangon via Air Asia next week on the morning flight and then board the 8.00 pm bus that same day via JJ Express to Bagan. I am wondering if there is any way I could slot in a shower before boarding the bus at night? I am considering checking in to a hotel for the day but that would add up to my budget, but the thought of going the entire day without showering irks me a little.

Thanks in advance for your kind replies!

Maybe can stay in a cheap hostel for a day

Yeah I guess there is no better way to do it. Will it be a risk to only look for a hostel/guesthouse only when I'm there? It's my first time there so I'm not familiar with how the crowd is going to be in January.

Should be fine, or just ask if u can ask for day-use of their facilities

Just got back from one week in Myanmar. Love the adventure to bits! Thanks for indirectly making my trip a success

How was the restriction on USD? Still only accept brand new USD?

They're slightly lenient now I suppose. One of my USD100 bills was not pristine as I couldn't get new notes last minute, there was a slight fold on one corner and a crease in the middle. They still checked my notes, but accepted them nonetheless.

If you plan on vacation consulting experience in tours to burma from bangkok, Burma, six days and five nights of travel at their own expense, the most complete and detailed here.

Referring to Burma tourism, you can think of it as a wandering journey is the hard part is the travel comfort and enjoyment. But if there is a chance to try again to experience his deep, have a long history of cultural value, to meet local people's kindness.





What they need to know in Burma:



Visa: Burma in Southeast Asia and Vietnam, so when I came here the tourists visa.



The change, it is necessary, when you travel, Burma Travel is no exception, you must change coins (read ch t kyat). It is worth noting that, when you put money in Vietnam, because money real money for new and old, two times the edge will lose value. You can change your money at the Yangon Airport in front of there are many counter transactions, KH's ngch NH that the exchange rate is too much, so you can rest assured. I changed my current exchange rate of $1 = 1.348 kyat (1.000kyat * 17.000vn). If you can still pay kyat, in exchange for money at the airport.



Culture and dress:



Burma is a Buddhist country, so people's belief in Buddhism, here is very rich, so here you have to pay attention to and respect their Buddhist faith. Most of the people I met, they are very kind and friendly smile and greet visitors minglabar - hi in the Burmese Language, that is when you smile, don't forget, they answer.



When you visit the temple to pay special attention to clothing, do not wear the shirt in the two line, do not wear pants, trousers and knee SOOC, go to the temple to put shoes and socks on the outside. You should choose the best clothes T-shirt pants like Alibaba group, and cautious in outdoor mobile convenient is the proper culture or another choice you can wear T-shirts and shorts, but in the SOOC temple, longyi (like the skirts of traditional clothing - women in Burma).



Especially to keep clothing men in Burma traditional activities, they put this relationship (a scarf and wear long instead of eating tr u).

In Burma all the year round is very hot, obviously there are three seasons from March to May, the hot weather may be around 40 degrees Celsius, from June to September is the rainy season, October to February, can be said to be the autumn is cool, because it is more comfortable. You should choose the time range in October February to Burma to China exploration.

Driving there left hand side or right hand side?

Myammar car are funny.
Driving on Right lane but car steering was on left (Same as Malaysia)
Passenger sitting at front next to Driver(Right Side) getting down from car are extremely dangerous!!! due to driving on right lane
Bus are most dangerous! Getting down may hit by car!!

But recently Myammar Govt bringing new proper bus, doors on left and driver on right side.

But Malaysian cars car steering is on right?

Malaysia
Steering on Right but u drive on Left Lane (Faced North Direction)
But Maymmar Steering on Right but drive on Right Lane (Faced North Direction) [US Style]

Crazy weh! Now have to think again whether to drive there or naik cab

New Generation car will be same as US. Left side Steering already. If u plan to rent car at Myanmar, you need IDP

If you taking Cab, New Generation Cab will be Left Steering & Passenger sit on Right side, So get down from car more safe. But Yangon still got alot old generation car which as I stated. You as passenger will sitting on Left side, everytime you get down from car will be extremely dangerous..

Starting next year 2019, only left driving only allow to import. Yangon nowaday traffic jam terrible due to import of too many cars since 3 years ago. Their bus within city not issue in the old day as most use rear entry and exit but car. You be careful when open the door. If you stay long term. Better apply and get a driving license as it can be use like a IC in most places like check-in to hotel etc. That what fellow malaysian told me.

Is € widely accepted as USD in Myanmar? Airasia tickets in December before Christmas seems quite cheap. RM240 round trip. Hmm.... a bit tempted to go.
