The Bogyoke Market in Yangon, also called
Scott market
clearly
indicated that Myanmar bucks the trend
of the fast paced countries in south east
Asia. One of the real pearls of this slow
motion life is the Bogyoke or Scott market
Almost
nothing has changed at the Bogyoke market
since British colonial times. The Bogyoke
Market at Yangon is the incarnation of a
great oriental market with all bells and
whistles.
Yangon is the Myanmar powerhouse, a
oriental playground of the past with a great
cultural and ecological diversity and
nowhere is it more apparent than in the
picturesque Bogyoke market in the center of
downtown Yangon.
No trip to Myanmar and Yangon would be
complete without witnessing this great
oriental market. Natural there are other
must see places in Myanmar, the main
difference to other places is, at the
Bogyoke market you can go shopping at a
stunning oriental market.
Integrated is the Jade market with
about two dozen stalls, plenty of other
jewelry shops are around. Myanmar art
paintings, fashion, food, silver, lacquer,
pearls, Buddhist statues, sandal carvings,
mother of pearl items, teak wood carvings
and plenty of other oriental delights for
shopping are available at the Bogyoke
market.
The Bogyoke
market is a real shoppers paradise in
particular for tourists and other travelers
since most of the items are really unique
and not available outside Myanmar. |
The best place for
shopping in Myanmar
is the Bogyoke or Scott market in Yangon. ..if you cant find it there you wont find it anywhere.
Just take a taxi, everyone know the Bogyoke Shopping Market,
be aware that at 5 pm sharp almost all shops are closed that
means shopping finished, Monday is off, all shops closed.
Yangon's
Bogyoke Market is also the best place to change money.
But don't listen to
the guys who approach you there and whisper
..change money... don't do it, they just will
cheat you.
