Yangon

Yangon, formerly Rangoon, was the capital of Myanmar until it was superseded by Nay Pyi Taw in November 2005. Today, with a population of over 5 million people, it remains the largest city and main economic hub of Myanmar. Yangon International Airport (Mingladon) (RGN) is located approximately 30 minutes north of the city centre. Currently undergoing a major upgrade and renovation of existing facilities, it contains both international and domestic terminals. There is no accommodation in the immediate vicinity of the airport. The easiest way to get to and from the airport to the city is by taxi (US$6) (update: Dec 2011, taxi fare K6000 - 7000, about USD 7.50 - 8.75) but it is also possible to get a pickup or public bus from outside the airport (both can be very crowded!) for under 50 kyat.

Yangon International Airport located in Mingaladon, at 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north of downtown Yangon, is the primary international airport of Myanmar and the second largest airport in the country. The airport's old terminal is used exclusively for domestic flights, and the new terminal, in operation since May 2007, handles international flights. The airport, which can handle 2.7 million passengers a year, handled 800,000 international passengers and 1.2 million domestic passengers in 2006. All five Myanmar carriers and about 16 international airlines operate out of Yangon International.

Mandalay

Completed in 1999, the airport is the largest and most modern airport in the country, complete with a 14,000-foot (4267-m) runway and capacity to handle up to 3 million passengers a year.

Nay Pyi Taw

Transportation Public transport services are limited between neighborhoods.The eight-lane, 323.2 km Yangon-Nay Pyi Taw highway links Nay Pyi Taw with Yangon directly, and is part of the 563 km-long overall Yangon-Naypyitaw-Mandalay highway. There is also a 20-lane boulevard, but like most roads in the city, it is largely empty.
International: Nay Pyi Taw Airport, also known as Ayelar Airport, is located southeast of the city, between the towns of Ela and Lewe. It is served by Myanmar Airways with regular flights to Yangon and other cities across the country.
Air The domestic terminal is 200m further along the road than the international terminal, and is old and tired looking. Facilities are minimal (espresso coffee, tea, local beer, limited hot food, and basic packaged snacks are available) but, as a consequence, check-in is simple and quick and bags arrive quickly from arriving aircraft. Ancient buses ferry passengers to their aircraft. Pre-paid taxis are available, pay at the taxi counter inside the baggage claim area, but it is easier and cheaper to exit the terminal and negotiate directly with the Taxi Car who controls the taxi trade at Mingladon. Try not to allow porters to carry your luggage, as they will demand specified tips and hassle you. This is especially a problem in the domestic terminal as there is no customs to pass through with your bags. If a porter has not attached himself to a hapless tourist, he may take random bags off the luggage cart, hoping someone will follow him. On the other hand you can experience the full service treatment, no going to counters or luggage concerns for a few thousand kyat.
Rail Nay Pyi Taw railway station (published as Nay Pyi Taw railway station) was opened at milepost No. (233/0), between Ywataw station and Kyihtaunggan station on the Yangon-Mandalay railroad Myanmar Railways has announced that passengers traveling on all trains except mail and local ones are to get off only at Nay Pyi Taw Station as they will not stop at Pyinmana Station after the inauguration of Nay Pyi Taw Station. Nay Pyi Taw was served by Pyinmana and Lewe stations, though only Pyinmana station is on the main rail line (which extends from Yangon-Bago-Nay Pyi Taw-Thazi-Mandalay). Lewe station is located on the way from Pyinmana to Kyaukpadaung.

Kaw thaung

Kaw Thaung(previously Victoria Point) is at the southern tip of Myanmar, on the border with Thailand. Charter boat from the docks at Ranong is a common way to enter Kaw Thaung and has been used by travellers in Thailand looking for to extend their visa-free stays in Thailand. travel agents in Ranong can arrange this for around 400THB per person including transport to the dock but not including visa fees, for which pristine, unmarked Thai baht or US dollars should be used. Even a slightly marked or torn note will be rejected and change is not usually given at the customs hut on the Kaw Thaung side.

Tachileik

Tachileik is in Shan State, Eastern Myanmar, on the border with Thailand. It is possible to enter Myanmar at the Mae Sai border post. A 14 day visa is US$10 or 500 Baht. Note, if your US$10 is not in pristine condition, the authorities will not accept it. They really want 500 Baht instead since it is worth US$16. The visa is only good for the Tachilek-Kengtung area and is not valid for travel to other parts of Myanmar. Be warned that the Myanmar Immigration authorities will hold on to your passport for the duration of your stay in the country giving you an entry permit instead. You will get your passport back on crossing back over to Thailand. Holders of a normal one-month Myanmar visa cannot use it to enter at Mae Sai. Be sure that you have the appropriate travel documents to re-enter Thailand at Mae Sai, you will only be able to get a 15 day entry pass into Thailand rather than the usual 30 day one that you get at the airport. If you have an actual visa and want to keep it, remember to get a re-entry permit in advance.In case you are a Thai citizen, you can make a temporary border pass in Chiang Rai for 30 baht. All you need is your bat prachachon (ID card).

Air Bagan and Yangon Airways fly to Heho via Kengtung daily.
Air Mandalay offers a non-stop flight to Mandalay

All have connecting or continuing service to Yangon and other parts of Myanmar.Shared taxis (US$12) and buses (US$8) run to Kengtung (4-5 hrs) in the mornings. A permit is necessary but bus and taxi drivers can make the arrangements (don't show up at the last minute). Onward travel from Kengtung to Mong La on the Chinese border is possible with permission from Myanmar immigration, easily organized in Kengtung.

Muse

Muse is the principal town of Muse Township also spell as Mu Se Township in northern Shan State, Myanmar. It is situated on the Shweli River, and is connected by a bridge and road to Ruili (Shweli in Myanmar) in Yunnan Province, China.The old bridge dubbed the "Gun Bridge" by the locals on account of the frequent traffic of armaments from China to Myanmar was closed in 2005, replaced by a new bridge with a wider span and parallel to it.
Muse is today connected to Mandalay via Lashio by the National Highway 3 450 km Asian Highway route 14 (AH14),The old Myanmar Road links the new road to Bhamo in Kachin State which links to the Ledo Road.Mandalay-Lashio-Muse Road included part of the Myanmar Road and was rebuilt and upgraded for heavy traffic in 1998 on a Build-Operate-Transfer basis (BOT) by the Asia World Company headed by the son of the former opium war lord Lo Hsing Han. It has cut the journey time from 2 days, even a week in the rainy season, to just 12–16 hours. Muse is also connected to central Myanmar via the Mandalay-Lashio railway line.

Heho

Heho is a small town in Kalaw Township, Taunggyi District, Shan State of Myanmar (formerly Burma). It is the primary air gateway to tourist areas such as Inle Lake. Heho is connected by NH4 to Sakangyi and Taunggyi, the capital of the Shan State in the east. A dirt road northwest from Heho leads to the old silver-lead mines of Maw Son (Baw Zaing).

Myawaddy

Myawaddy is a border town in Myanmar. Access for foreigners is currently only possible from Mae Sot in Tak Province, Thailand, though this is set to change in a few years time.>There are several buses daily from Myawaddy to Hpa-an (Pa-an) and Mawlamyine (Moulmein), however a Myanmar or Thai passport or ID card is required.Foreigners can only cross the border into Myanmar at this point on foot (unusually, foreigners are not even permitted to cross with bicycles).From the Thai town of Mae Sot, take a songthaew or other transport to the border crossing at the Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge over the Moei River; Myawaddy is immediately on the other side of the bridge.Foreigners must deposit their passports at the Myanmar immigration checkpoint. The officers ask for 500 baht, whereas officially the fee is $10. They will haggle and mess around, using a variety of ruses, such as your US dollar bills being printed in the wrong year. To save (their) face, carry a selection of notes, or just be patient - the fee is $10. No fees are payable at the Thai checkpoint. Normal exit and entry stamps are issued at both checkpoints.
Currently (March 2010) it seems to be impossible to pay $10 instead of 500 baht. When asking for an explanation of why the border in Mae Sai charges $10 and the border in Mae Sot 500 Baht (which is clearly more than $10) guards may claim that these are different border crossings and there are more foreigners in Mae Sai so it makes it easier to exchange the dollars, or something like this. In any case, just be prepared to pay 500 baht. Even if you pretend to have no thai currency with you, the officers then let you enter the town without taking your dollars but tell you to change them into baht there and pay 500 baht on your way back!
As of late March 2010, on your re-entry back into Thailand you are given visa for only fifteen days, not "30 days" (as a certain guidebook wrongly says).While in Myawaddy the Thai Baht is universally accepted, as such, there is no need to change your Baht into the Kyat (the Myanmar currency).

Thandwe

Thandwe Thandwe is a town and major seaport in Rakhine State, the westernmost part of Myanmar. Thandwe is very ancient, and is said to have been at one time the capital of Rakhine State, then called Arakan. The district has an area of 3,784 square miles (9,800 km2). The country is mountainous, the Arakan Mountains sending out spurs which reach the coast. Some of the peaks in the north attain 4,000 and more ft. The streams are only mountain torrents to within a few miles of the coast; the mouth of the Khwa forms a good anchorage for vessels of from 9 to 10 ft (3.0 m). draught. The rocks in the Arakan Range and its spurs are metamorphic, and comprise clay, slates, ironstone and indurated sandstone; towards the south, ironstone, trap and rocks of basaltic character are common; veins of steatite and white fibrous quartz are also found. The rainfall in 1905 was 23-49 in. Except a few acres of tobacco, all the cultivation is rice.

Можно узнать, где вы нашли эту информацию? Я тоже собираюсь в Мраук У, смотрела сайт этого министерства, но там такого запрета не нашла. На мое письмо с вопросом, можно ли будет
попасть в Мраук У, агенство не отвечает.

[Zivert]

Первое навскидку https://www.myanmarevisa.gov.mm/limitedregion.aspx
Но тут уже кто-то писал, что турагентство отказалось организовывать тур в Мраук У именно по этой причине. Район на сегодня закрыт для посещения. Печально.

[larisakopacheva]

Спасибо за ссылку, хотя я там не увидела никаких запретов на посещение Мраук У. Но видимо, они существуют, раз человеку отказали в 7-Diamond. Он едет в ноябре, а я в январе - может, поэтому они и молчат (неизвестно, что будет через 3 месяца).

[Zivert]

Вы отслеживайте ситуацию. Думаю, можно написать в бирманский МИД. Ну, или посылать запросы по нескольким турагентствам. Возможности там у всех разные. Думаю, что к январю там всё нормализуется.

[Kirillja]

В Exotic обещают открытие Мраук У - в конце октября!

Мне на декабрь его ставят..

Относительно Ситтве - Мраук У. Сегодня (3 января) на сайте https://www.myanmarevisa.gov.mm/limitedregion.aspx написано следующее:

В декабре народ кое-как еще проникал туда, хотя агентства всем отказывают. Кто был пишут про большое количество военных, комендантский час (в Мраук У до 19.00), блок-посты и пр. Особенно неприглядная обстановка в Ситтуэ.
Недавно читал (декабрь, как в январе - не знаю), что вроде бы будут возить большие пакетные группы, а мелким группам и самоходам - запрет.

Ого. А мы эти места в свой маршрут включили. Ссылка-то старая, но нам казалось, что информация там своевременно обновляется.
Можете поделиться ссылками? И на декабрьский отчет, и на информацию о доступе больших групп. Нам правда это важно (наш маршрут - в соседнем разделе, тема "Мьянма на 26 дней").

Ну вот хотя бы: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum-g1390118-i15878-Mrauk_U_Rakhine_State.html . Сходите еще на ЛП-форум. Там тоже наверное обсуждают.
Про большие группы было заявление местного (ракхайнского) начальства в какой-то интернет-периодике (сейчас не помню, случайно попалось).

Вы лучше напишите в ЛС тем, кто только что из Бирмы. И в пару тройку агенств.
ИМХО, теоретически туда проникнуть можно, но только в саму Мраук У и без гарантий.

Immigration Checkpoints в приведенном списке это пункты, в которых иностранцы формально обязаны регистрироваться по прибытию (хотя это правило не очень соблюдается в последние годы), поскольку они оказались в другом штате или административном образовании. Все, наверное, помнят стойки с надписью "Immigration" в аэропортах Nyaung U, Heho или Thandwe, но это не означает, что туда можно "прибыть" напрямую из-за границы .
Вообще информация туманная и путаная. Вы бы дали ссылку на источник.
Что касается реальных чекпоинтов при пересечении бирманской границы, то есть предложение в соответствии с правилами Форума постить информацию о них в давно существующую ветку Наземные переходы границы Мьянмы.

В январе-феврале попасть в Мраук У и Ситтве было нельзя никак вообще. Заходили в государственные турагентства в разных городах: везде слышали одно и то же: "К сожалению, туда нельзя". Видно было, что тётенькам из агентств действительно по-человечески жаль, что иностранные гости не могут туда попасть, но сделать что-либо было явно не в их силах.

Официально нельзя, но я как раз в феврале на трипадвизоре читала, что ребята летали в Мраук У 3-6 января этого года сами авиакомпанией KBZ и никто их не остановил - авиакомпания билеты продала (агенства не хотели этого делать), с гидами договаривались самостоятельно. http:_//www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g1390118-i15878-k6066315-Mrauk_U_Jan_2013_Update-Mrauk_U_Rakhine_State.html

The rest of the normal tourists area are open the same as before.
Myanmar Tourism authorities do not published details on their website. As my experienced on remote area , government offices didn’t get contact each other and need to inform all the sectors ( Police ,Immigration , Local authorities and so on ... ) in every town.
Anyhow , it seem to be opened soon the restricted area.
I’ll update what happening on the ground status soon.

Интересная информация. И список открытых (точнее планируемых к открытию) территорий впечатляет. Но пока это не более чем "декларация о намерениях" провозглашенная по бирманской традиции на закрытом ланче в Министерстве Внутренних Дел и нигде не опубликованная .
И да, заключение тоже весьма показательно для Мьянмы. Полиция, иммиграция и местные власти "открытых" районов могут очень долго быть не в курсе того, что их "открыли" и действовать по своему усмотрению.
