11 Things To Do in Yangon, Myanmar (Are You Ready!?)

[@Naiyuhhh]

I'm half burmese and its a shame I know nothing about the country. I'm trying to learn the language which is very difficult since it is very different from English and my first language Filpino/Tagalog. This video made my day. It made me feel like I'm there myself. I'm trying to fill half of my life but I still can't,hopefully someday.

[@meplodi5748]

It’s fine I’m fully Burmese and raised in Yangon yet Burmese is still hard as hell to speak understand and write

[@gilnahnu]

im chin and dont know much about the country either. lived in the states for more than majority of my life

[@blackicee8836]

Yap like you said it was not easy to remember and learn every words in Myanmar language was complicated and one word was different mean depand on situation and sentence yoy want to discribe about.I'm from myanmar,i'm 100% Shan(Tai yai) live in north shan state i'm still learning more to english.I'm mean if someone was not native and live here,it is not easy to learn like any other language.I know your comment was 3y ago but i can't stop my self to write on your comments.

Myanmar is a laidback country with adventurous street life, very friendly people, amazing street food and just chaotic street life. Yangon is the city I was born and I lived in the upper and middle town of 27-26-25-24 street. You definitely need to visit Artha street, it has a very busy wild and chaotic wild street life. I grew up buying ingredients my mum ordered from there everyday.

I watched it before and watched it again in 2021. Every time I look at your face reaction to food I smile and can’t wait for the next one lol. I am originally from Myanmar and I am Karen ethnic, grew up in Thailand refugee camp with different languages but I understand their language well. Can’t wait to visit just once 😁

I worked in Yangon for 4 years as a chef......and this is spot on.....

[@yvonneengelage3344]

That's great. I've lived here in Myanmar for almost 9 years and i think only done 3. Those are the touristy places. Go outside of yangon to a remote place Luke Kalaw or Taungyi or go to a beach. I recommend Shwe Hin Tha on Ngwe Saung Beach. There, you can stay in bamboo huts or a concrete bungalow and it is just so beautiful. I would not recommend eating street food because if food poisoning and if you do want to try it, just check to see if it's clean because it would mess up your whole trip to get food poisoning, and a delicious meal isn't worth that. Myanmar is definitely a place to travel to and super beautiful. I've fallen in love with it, but most of the things he showed were downtown. Go outside of yangon to placed like Dala or Hlegu, where usually no other tourists go.

[@ashleejayde7929]

I live in Yangon and one of my favorite places and somewhere I would take people to Dala which is across the river. There are local markets (which seem more authentic then some Downtown), a village hit by the 2004 Tsunami that has been all but forgotten about, a recycle store that is amazing, fishing villages with boat rides and a snake pagoda which was impressive. If you go to Myanmar please visit Dala!

Chinese gangs use many methods to make you OWE them money, with fake jobs prospects, gamblings, and they kidnapp you and sell your body organs.
