I LOVE MYANMAR FOREVER!!!

EXPLORING MYAMMAR ON A BUDGET Mingalabar! 🇲🇲 Philippine passport holder can stay in Myanmar without a visa for 14days. ✔️ Reason why you should travel to Myanmar Budget friendly experiences Culture Nature Temples & Pagodas Very friendly locals Food Peak - October and March during hot air balloon season, also the best months to visit due to cold weather. 🛕 Must Visit Temples in Bagan Shwezigon Pagoda Thatbyinnyu Phaya Shwesandaw Pagoda Dhammayan Gyi Temple Htilominlo Sulamani Temple Shwe Nan Yin Taw Monastic Complex Pyathetgyi Pagoda Bulethi Gawdawpalin Thitsarwadi (sunset) 🛕 Must visit place in Yangon Shwedagon Pagoda Sule Pagoda Bogyoke Aung San Market (Souvenirs) Yangon City Hall Independence Monument Circular Train 💡 If you have longer time, might as well add Inle Lake Mandalay 💡 Hack & Tips: ✔️ In case the money changer doesn’t accept your USD in Yangon airport, just look for other. Keep in mind that they don’t accept series older than 2009, folded, stained or with little stamp. ✔️ JJ Express have Premium Economy bus to Bagan, much cheaper than Premium one, it includes reclining seat, comforter, bottled water. (Scheduled at 8 and 10pm) ✔️ Paying the Bagan Archaeological Fee in local currency is cheaper than in USD (25000 kyats or 19usd) Keep the receipt as this will serve your entrance fee to all the temples. ✔️ Rent an e-bike or scooter to explore (6,000 kyats per day) ✔️ You are required to remove your shoes and socks when going inside the temples. ✔️ Having your accommodation outside Old and New Bagan will save you a lot (We stayed at Shwe Na Di Guest House, in Nyang U, close to the bus terminal, Old and New Bagan) (Highly recommended, they even gave us breakfast for free upon arrival, staffs are super nice.) ✔️ Book your accommodation in Yangon at Backpacker Bed & Breakfast. They offer Php200 per night per head with free breakfast. Walking distance to majority of tourist attractions in Yangon. ✔️ Food is so cheap, for only 5000 kyats you can eat a good meal in “carinderyas” with many side dishes. ✔️ If you want to chill at night, go to Sakura Tower Roof Top Bar. Entrance fee is 5000 kyats (consumable for drinks or food). It offers amazing view of Yangon’s skyline (including Shwedagon Pagoda). ✔️ Grab is cheap in Yangon. ✔️ Allow atleast a few days in Bagan, just take it slow. Burmese people are very friendly and helpful. They always greet us with their warmest smile. One of the best countries I’ve visited. #skiadventure #staycation #themepark #beachlife
