AboutNancy B Expertise One of my all-time favorites. I`ve been there more than 10 times (for at least a month each time), done the tourist loop five times and travelled to several permit-only areas. Aside from the Yangon, Bago, Inle, Kalaw, Mandalay, Pagan, Pyay route, I`ve travelled twice to Sittwe, Mrauk-U and the Chin areas and then down to Ramree Island, Ngapali and Pathein. Been on the wonderful boat from Bhamo to Mandalay and sojourned in the south a bit past Moulmein. Most recently I trekked in the northern Kachin state, camped and stayed with the Rawang tribe, for 2 weeks on the way to Phonekan Razi to see the Himalayas from the east. I`ve taken nearly every mode of transport--trains, planes, buses, boats, bikes, oxcarts, trekking on foot. I can answer logistical questions about airfare, hotels, restaurants, trekking, trains, restricted/open areas and, especially, cultural/religious sites and their significance.
Experience The world is a fascinating place and nothing reveals this more thoroughly than exploring faraway lands. I've got a penchant for the exotic, a friendly face and a true curiousity about the people, art and life.
Question I just want to know how can i go Rangoon from Bangladesh?? IS their any direct flight available?? From Rangoon I want to go Ngapali beach . Hope now u can understand the question.
Answer Hi, Shafin,
Ok, that's much clearer. Yes, there's a flight to Dhaka from Rangoon (Yangon), though sometimes for some reason, it's cheaper to go through Calcutta. The visa, btw, that is issued by the Bangladesh embassy in Yangon is very expensive, a minimum of $100 USD. Yangon to Thandwe is also easy . . . on Myanmar Airways, and then it's just a short shuttle to beautiful Ngapali beach. If you go overland to Ngapali, it's a bit long as the road through the mountains is lengthy (approx. 7-9 hours) and, in a bus, crowded.
Have fun!
