[@yree4treey887]

It’s so amazing 😉 -

[@BradNewton]

I think so too!

[@user-rg6wi4wq4d]

Thankyou for your tips. Question about electric bikes. Not a motorcycle rider, but bike rider. Do you need a licence, international , does it have be bike or car? Helmet no doubt. Have Myanmar on my hit list but layed up by virus closing borders. Thanks in anticipation

[@BradNewton]

We weren't asked about a driving licence. We just paid the money for the e-bike and that was it :-)

[@user-rg6wi4wq4d]

@@BradNewton thanks

[@TravelQuintessence]

Great Video 👍🏿 What makes you travel?

[@BradNewton]

I love adventure way too much!!

[@natitoro898]

Hi! Im from Colombia and Im planning a one month trip in Asia. I would do it solo. I have just been in Japan. Im not sure if i should go to thailand and cambodia, India or Myanmar. Which one would you recomend? I like to dedicate one month to a country and no to rush the trip. Thank you so much! Hope you plan a trip to Colombia soon.

[@BradNewton]

Going to Cambodia in 2 weeks from now. The rest are all amazing countries - depends on what you want to see/do. India is a stunning country and needs a minimum of a month, I believe. I'd say Myanmar as it is relatively untouched (from tourism)

[@mo04sp61]

Were you there in the rain time? If yes, were you able to bath and how often did it rain a day?

[@BradNewton]

We were there during December and it never rained :-)

[@monenglish5476]

Hi, I'm from Mon state, Myanmar I watched your Video I got a lot of experience from you, my interest One is about the US doller bill, thanks I'll watch your Video more and more.

[@BradNewton]

glad you liked it... thanks for stopping by!

[@myominzawstudent4041]

Now rules changed. You can pay everywhere only Myanmar kyats. No more US dollar.

[@BradNewton]

are you sure?

[@joanlindencronshaw3787]

I loved the content.Thank you for all the effort you’ve put into it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6PEemCLl75sgpI

[@johnmaclaim1]

can you get Myanmar visa on arrival ??

[@BradNewton]

i think it depends on the country you are coming from... i would check with your consulate.

​ @Brad Newton Vlogs When are you guys considering visiting again? It'd obviously be after the pandemic. A couple of other tips: - the country is pronounced "Mya-mar". Two syllables. The "n" is silent. This tip also holds true for other Burmese words spelled in English. The first few consonants and vowels mash together. If Myanmar was three syllables instead of two, it would have been spelt "Myyanmar". It's how they interpret English spelling. "Yangon" is pronouced "yun-gown" (rhymes with bone), not "yan-goon", nor "yan-gone". - Regarding food, if it comes in one bowl/dish, mix it together. Everything you get in smaller dishes next to a main, big dish, are side dishes. Mix bits and bobs from the side dishes together with the main dish. There's no right or wrong way to do this. Experiment, and see what works for you. - the places you ate in this series looked fairly expensive. Crazy cheap compared to Aus, but about 50% more expensive than what I had expected. Don't worry, you didn't get ripped off. You just ended up in touristy places, probably on the main streets rather than back-streets, even if there weren't other tourists there. - I'll leave more tips once they come back into my head. It'll also help if I knew what time of year you're heading there.

[@BradNewton]

Appreciate the tips!

[@nltk93]

Nice video and really cool tips. btw, you're still pronouncing Myanmar wrong. Like when you pronounce kyats, it's not My-an-mar. It's M-yan-mar. So it's closer like Mian-Mar. Thanks for visiting my country and sharing beautiful videos.

[@BradNewton]

no different to tomatos or "tomaytos" thanks for the comment

[@lipolydolance3269]

Nay Lynn is right! It's pronounced Mie-En-Mar or Mian-Mar.

[@yawaihan7449]

Different from what you pronounce myopia,myocardia,cyanide,…

[@jor888]

Hi, From what I have heard you don't have to bring US dollars to Myanmar... You can exchange your Aussie dollars to kyat at money exchangers and banks..... It's easier to take Aussie dollars than to take us dollars... Can someone confirm?

[@BradNewton]

Not sure... i only know that many hotels only accept USD. The currencies accepted at the money changer might offer more options. There are plenty of ATMS there...

[@simplesimpleman]

Us dollars is a lot easier. Some hotels and restaurants only accpet us dollars. Cash will be good too because you can pay with credit or debit cards just in a very few places.Anyway don't worry,there's a lot of banks,money changers and atms everywhere now.

[@jor888]

@@simplesimpleman if we not from the USA we then have to change our currency to USA so we lose on the conversion to the USA Dollar also the notes have to be immaculate condition... It is so painful....

[@karenguy7149]

@@jor888 best way is simply go to ATM and withdraw local currency, will cost around USD5 . Most money changers will accept currency from US,EURO,JAPAN,SG,THAILAND, MALAYSIA and a few more.

[@yawaihan7449]

You still need to bring flawless $ notes to deal with the money changers.Some wont accept even a microscopic spot is seen.The unwanted procedure is introduced by the (ex)military rulers to discourage the foreigners to come to this hermitage country.

[@BradNewton]

yeah i was really annoyed by that to be honest... given their currency is accepted with rips, tears, etc but not the U.S currency!

[@yree4treey887]

WT ( F ) are you kidding me ? 🤣🤣🤣

[@BradNewton]

not kidding! :-)

[@ayeminhtun4139]

Your USD or AUD or every foreign currency must totally 100% need to clean. They are not acceptable even if your money having a very tiny dot. Trust me! I'm a local person and I always argue with them. LOL ....

[@BradNewton]

yeah i know... totally aware. It was frustrating for us too.

[@DannoCurfman]

Why is that? They afraid it won't be accepted?? You can tear a US dollar in two and as long as it has a serial number I can take it and exchange it.
