Myanmar Transportation
Traveler to Myanmar may wonder how to get around in Myanmar. Compare to other neighboring countries in Southeast Asia, infrastructure in Myanmar has long way to go.
With the experience of my 2 years living in Myanmar, I find it is not difficult at all. There are so many types of transportation from the very basic to the comfort level. Some of them even surprise you. I will share to you what I have seen, experience and love or hate about transportation in Myanmar.
