Prices escalate at an unbelievable rate! Things are cheap, but not quite as cheap as guidebooks make them out to be, being somewhat out of date. Take taxis anywhere and everywhere, they're affordable.

Golden Rock is worth to travel, but take care about the Local travel agents. We booked a day trip with a local travel agent, which supposed to be includes a Car+driver+guide and all their expenses. Back to the hotel in the night our guide ask us to pay for his expenses again. Next day we went to the Travel Agent to complain as in our Agreement was clearly mentioned that we do not need to pay for any other extra charges. Finally we got some part of the money back.

Yangon is not a place I would go out of my way to visit again. The military presence there is somewhat stifling, the city has limited things to see. The people in Yangon are decidedly less open than in Mandalay. The Green Elephant is a great restaurant for Myanmar food and handicrafts.

Myanmar people are very friendly and I had a great time in that country, specially in Bagan. But since it is not yet totally developped if you think about going to that country, the best would be to pass by an agency who will organise a local guide for you. I have the chance to have some local friend and it was really cool but language is really an issue. if you are using credit card, only VISA is accepted and you have to verify more than twice to be sure the hotel accept the card otherwise they will charge you an extra 10%. Take lots of extra cash with you because there again if you want to cash out some money from your credit card only very few limited places will do it for a 20% charge....

Stayed at Popa Mountain Resort - Mandalay, Myanmar.
|
We visited Mt Popa after two days hard temple visiting at Bagan. The Mt Popa resort provided a very welcome break for our feet and the cool temperature and pool aided our relaxation prior to more temple visiting in Mandalay. The temple at Mt Popa is a little glitzy especially compared to those at Bagan and watch out for monkeys on the walk up.
If you're heading to Mandalay by road from Bagan (highly recommended, you see so much more this way even if you do break down), Mt Popa is a lovely place to stop.
