Comment on Living in Yangon (Rangoon) as an expatriate by Myo

Hi Cee,

As I asked through my friends, Myeik is a harbor town as you can see in the maps.
There are hotels where you can negotiate for long stay.
If you want to save costs you better hire a house but you will need to arrange yr own facilities.
Mostly, companies provide accommodations for their foreigner staffs.
Electrical power supply is like other towns “NO” and you will need a generator of yr own.
For food, there are only one or two famous restaurants but there are many small local restaurants. You can hv Myanmar foods and Chinese foods as well as Indian food.
For the water, you can buy purified water for drinking purpose while depend on tube wells for bathing, washing purpose.
As for communication, there are internet cafes as well as land lines and you can also hire GSM and CDMA mobile phones there.
You can commute by motorcycle taxi or you can hire some cars/motorcycle in monthly or yearly basis. Buses and trains are not available there.
But it’s jst a small town, motorcycle will be good enough.
And there is an airport where they hv daily flights.
Health care is jst local standard, you will find several clinics and a government general hospital.
There is no supermarket but grocery stores and there is one main bigger local market.
You will find plenty of made in Thailand products as Myeik is quite near to Thailand.
Regarding the living costs, you can refer my previous comment abt living costs in Yangon while that of Myeik is lower.(much lower in some aspects)
General way of life is quite typical & boring that there are no entertainments except beer pubs and karaokes.
But if you love the sea and islands, there’s no other place better than Myeik that there are many many beautiful virgin islands and untouched nature.
Hope this help you.

Hi Hub,

Yes, it will be difficult to taking out a lot of foreign currency(USD).
I think there will not be a problem if you take out under 10,000 USD cos it’s naturally the amount of personal use for traveling.
But the lesser you take out the safer cos there are strict policy abt money laundering.
The best way to take out is by using hondi service though it is illegal.
You will hv to find a good contact while you stay in Myanmar.
