Local knowledge for Yangon
Where to stay
Budget travelers mostly stay in the downtown grid, around Pabedan and Kyauktada townships, within walking distance of Sule Pagoda, Maha Bandula Park, and the Strand Road riverfront. Chinatown, centered on 19th Street in Latha Township, has cheaper street food and a handful of hostels with a more social atmosphere.
Getting around
- Ride the Yangon Circular Train from Yangon Central Railway Station for under a dollar. The full loop takes about three hours and passes through townships most visitors never reach on foot.
- Bogyoke Aung San Market (also called Scott Market) is closed on Mondays and public holidays. Go any other day for lacquerware, textiles, and gems, and check hours before making it part of a tight itinerary.
- ATMs in Yangon regularly reject foreign cards or run out of cash entirely. Bring US dollars in clean, undamaged condition, post-2006 bills only, and exchange at licensed money changers in the downtown area rather than at hotels.
When to go
Hostels are cheapest during the monsoon, roughly June through September, when prices drop noticeably. Beds fill fast from November through February, and the Thadingyut festival in October brings a sharp spike in domestic travel that can clean out budget options overnight.
