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 Hi,
I wanna visit yangon. I am looking for cheaper flights. Can u tell me which airline will be cheaper to travel with. Also which path i will choose, Dhaka-Kolkata-Yangon or Dhaka-Bangkok-Yangon. i am concern about the fare and taxes. pls help me
Answer Hi, Sultanul,
Generally, the Dhaka-Kolkata (or as we say Calcutta)-Yangon flight is cheaper, but these things change and you have to check with a travel agent or the airlines. And generally speaking, part of the flight, at least, on your very own Biman airlines is the cheapest (although not always the most reliable) way to go. If you fly Dhaka-Bangkok and then back to Yangon, just the Myanmar Airways flight from Bangkok to Yangon (which is cheaper than Thai Airlines) will cost you about $200USD. You ought to be able to get a better deal through India. You must always check the current fares and taxes with a travel agent, airline or the internet (might want to try flights.com).
Have fun!
