What is a Myanmar Holiday without
shopping ?.. its like a Ferrari without petrol ! that is the reason we
make some suggestions here for your "super dupy"
Myanmar Holiday
Shopping.
The main
destination for your
shopping
in Yangon is the Bogyoke - or Scott Market,
a real oriental bazaar.
Just take a taxi
everyone know the place, be aware that at
5 pm sharp almost all shops are closed
that means shopping finished.
You can also
change some money there, actually you
should, its the only place in Yangon where
you can ask a few different shops for the
exchange rate so you can figure out the best
exchange rate and wont get cheated. But
don't listen to the guys who approach you
and whisper ..change money... don't do it
they just will cheat you.

If you want to
buy something tell the shop people the
should help you to change. Ask at least 2
shops, now US$ and EURO can be changed,
forget all other currency, no one wants
them, also credit cards are not taken due to
the economic embargo which includes a
finance embargo too.
A ideal item when you shop for a gift for
a local person is whisky, the best is
Johnny Walker whisky, the best not means
because its the best whisky, here everyone
has his different opinions, but the Myanmars
simply like it best, maybe if you have some
more money to spend on your shopping Chivas
Regal is also very popular, or maybe French
or Italian wine.
