Hi Bros,

I will be going on a 4-days business trip to Yangoon, heard about the no-credit-card issue. Does it happens throughout the whole capital area? How do we pay for the hotel, transport & such?

Some of the big hotels accept credit card;

if not, cash is king and make sure your US dollar notes are crisp - literally.

Same experience bro. unfortunately you have to bring cash currently. but remember to change local currencies too. not too much though, just for stuffs like cigs and snacks.....

[wolf2305]

You have to bring cash into Yangoon, USD for the hotels, local money for the rest of the stuffs.

There are some pub here and there, but if you want decent ones, try the pub at parkroyal hotel.

As for their capital, Naypidaw, it is a much quieter city as compare to Yangoon, and when the weekends come, it is like a ghost town. And there are currently two small malls, very small ones there. Did i mentioned that the malls are small?

The Hotels there are around 120USD - 400USD

Hotel business, rental of office space, and opening up the country infrastructure

Just came back from Yangon.

Things are getting very exciting over there with the new FDI law passed. Hotels are primed to make bumper $$. They keep increasing room rate every 3months and still fully booked.

Myanmar is still a cash society, credit cards are redundant. Being a cash society, its very safe. Its ok to carry 10-20k USD and walk around.

Luckily cheong cost remains stable for this year.
