1. Entering Myanmar As far as I know, flying from Kunming to Mandalay is the cheapest route. Of course, entry from a third country is another matter. 2. In Myanmar, the long-distance bus is the most cost-effective way, but it is easy to break down. Moreover, if you don't sleep well, it is difficult for the night train to rest well, because they will turn on the lights and play music all night and ask you to get off for supper and go to the toilet, even if you don't go. Trains are extremely expensive and dirty. There are also planes, which are probably more than tens of dollars. 4. The boat can only be used between Mandalay and Bagan, but only during the day. The ticket is 16 USD, leaving at 6 o'clock in the morning and arriving around 6 o'clock in the evening. Bus may be the best way to travel in Myanmar, but you must calculate the direction of the sun on that day and avoid sitting on the side with the sun, otherwise the sun in Myanmar will leave a deep impression on you. The following is the bus situation of the main routes. From Mandalay to Bagan, the fare is 3 100kyat, 9: 30, 14: 30, 2 1: 30. The night train I took should normally arrive at 7: 00 the next morning, but the bus I took didn't arrive until 3: 00 in the middle of the night. It is said that I took a shortcut. From Bagan to Yinlai Lake, the fare is 6000kyat, starting at 5: 00 in the morning, picking people up at the entrance of the hotel, arriving at kalaw at 3: 00 in the afternoon, arriving at Waterbird at around 4: 00 in the afternoon, and then taking Biga (a small place in Myanmar for people and goods) from Waterbird to 500kyat. From Inlay Lake to Yangon, the fare is 7000kyat. At noon, the bus from the east to Shuiniao arrives at 7: 00 in the morning. The bus passes through Bogu, and the fare is the same. It arrives at 4: 30 in the morning, but from Shuiniao to Shuiniao, you must go earlier, because Biga is full of people, and you never know when it will be full. Otherwise, you can only pack one Biga, and the cost is about 3000kyat. Yangon to Qiangda, the fare is 4000kyat, and the through train doesn't leave until 6: 30 in the morning. Otherwise, you have to change trains in Ba Tai. Although it is no trouble to change trains, the time is uncertain, because we have to wait for the ferry to reach Qiangda. I just waited for the ferry at noon for two hours. Under normal circumstances, it takes seven hours to get there from Yangon. The fare from Yangon to Bogu is 1000kyat, which runs every hour at 6: 30 at the earliest and 4: 30 at the latest. We can get there in an hour and a half. From Yangon to Mandalay, the fare is 5000kyat, leaving at 4: 30 pm and arriving at around 8: 00 the next morning. When traveling in Myanmar, we should pay attention to the fact that the fares of foreigners and nationals are different, and there is a big difference. The prices I wrote above are all aimed at foreigners. Some friends said it was negotiable, but I haven't tried. 5. Other modes of transportation: I think cycling is necessary in Bagan, which is available in general hotels, and it costs 400-500kyat a day. There are also tricycles modified from bicycles, like 3500kyat a day, and carriages. I'm not sure about the price. Most of them can speak fluent English and work as tour guides. I think I found a tricycle at sunrise. 1000kyat. Silver Lake chartered 7000kyat, coming back from 7: 30 am to 5: 00 pm. Each boat is limited to five people, so it is cost-effective to find someone to share the cost. The boatman can also speak fluent English. Communication: Long distance call in Myanmar is very, very expensive, 8 dollars a minute! ! Internet access is also very inconvenient. In Bagan, receiving an email is 500kyat and sending an email is 1000kyat. You need to use his outlook to send and receive. However, the prices of different Internet cafes are not consistent; Mandalay 500kyat, can surf the Internet for half an hour; Better than 2 dollars an hour. In Myanmar, tickets for tourist attractions must be in US dollars; Hotels are generally denominated in dollars, but they can also be paid in kyats, but there will be exchange rate losses; Other meals, shopping and tickets can be bought in Myanmar currency. The unit of kyat is pronounced (jia). When I went there, the black market price was $ 1=880kyat. Generally, you can exchange kyat in the hotel, Mandalay 1=850kyat and clam 1 = 800 kyat in Yangon. The lowest in chuangtha is $ 1=750kyat. References:
