blossombkk Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi to everyone, I will be in Myanmar next week with my 2 daughters for 8 days. Anybody has a suggestion, out of experience, what are good places to go in the south and west of Yangoon? Shouldn't be not over 6 hours bus ride. could be good beaches and towns on the way. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokburning Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Golden Rock - but this will be a bit of a haul for kids, may require overnight, a hike up a steepish mountain and some expense. Must See: Bagan Must NOT See: Mandalay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletcher Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 If you want a beach Ngwe Saung is best. Its a good idea to arrange with a Yangon tour operator to get a coach, rather than the slow bus. Plenty of hotels there from USD20 to USD150+ available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokburning Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 My gf just read on a Thai board that a womans mother was electrucuted while showering in Bagan. Could happen here surely, but just FYI. Was some luxury hotel as well. Have you been to Bagan? It's a world must-see, definately within Myanmar itself! Still very nice, not changed much since my first visit -unlike the rest of the country which has changed A LOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
