I chose Myanmar for my first travelling abroad with many reasons. I searched many things about Myanmar but somehow I also want to get any ideas about cheap hotels and food from you. Really appreciate if you can give me some. I am really fond of street foods.
I planned to visit here 4 days in the end of October. But as I prefer charity works and volunteer, so I may spend more time here discovering the culture and local life. Hopefully I can get some recommendations.

Thank you for any feedback. Cheers. Hien

Hi,

Nice to know you.

I will be flying from HCM to Yangon on 27 and return on October 31. You are working there so you know many ideal places to visit, I believe. Hope to get your ideas.

Hi Thanh,
If you are coming to Yangon. There are a lot of hotel in Yangon now, a lot of them are new and not so expensive. Google-ing "cheap hotels in yangon" might be helpful, and depends on what is your purpose of coming, location of hotel might be crucial, since traffic jam is pretty bad here.

It will be good if you bring some medicine for digestion if it is your first time here.
For food you can visit this website: a lot of review for Yangon restaurants.

One important thing: you have to bargain with the taxi driver in Yangon!

Hi,

That would be good if having more people to join.
Now my plan will be taking bus from Yangon to Bagan, staying there 2 nites and back by bus again.
Still have time to see around Yangon.

Ps: in case you are still interested in, I'd like to see sunrise in Bagan ( a must in my list) .

Cheers, Hien
