Anyone going to Myanmar or been to Myanmar?
I am trying to plan my trip at end Oct and I know I want to cover Bagan, Mandalay, Inle and Yangoon.
Any other places I should not miss?
Any tips of any places or things to do or things to watch out?
I have full 17 days. Thanks.
A trip to the ancient cities surrounding Mandalay is a worthwhile day trip. Mandalay itself isn't that great but take a walk up to the top of Mandalay hill for great views. Allow a couple of days at least for Bagan, and hire a horse and cart to get around. In Yangon Shwedagon Paya is the main attraction - try and see it both at night and during the day.
Take plenty of $US cash with you as this is used for most larger purchases. Get some of the local currency, Kyat, when you get there- money changers are everywhere on the streets of Yangon. Don't change your money at the airport as the rates are terrible. When I was in Myanmar in 2006 there were no working ATMs anywhere in the country, and credit cards were suspended. I'm not sure if this is still the case.

Thanks for all the tips.
17 day is good enough, travel around in Myanmar!
