What can 100 yuan do in Myanmar? You may not believe it!
In recent years, Chinese people have traveled abroad, and Southeast Asia has been the destination for most people. There are many countries in Southeast Asia, and Xinmatai has long been well-known. Myanmar, a rising country in the tourism industry, is also doing a good job, and it has gradually gained some fame in the country.
Burma is located in the western part of the Indochina Peninsula, between the Tibetan Plateau and the Malay Peninsula. The dense forests, flowing water, beautiful beaches, golden pagodas... It is definitely an excellent tourist destination. Since it is inevitable to spend money when it comes to travel, what can you buy in Myanmar with the largest denomination of RMB 100, and what kind of life can you lead?
Here we want to clarify the exchange rate conversion between the two countries. The currency in Myanmar is also known as the Myanmar Kyat (Kia). The current exchange rate against the Renminbi is around 220 yuan, that is, 1 yuan can be exchanged for 220 Myanmar kyats. RMB 100 is equivalent to Myanmar Kyat 22,000.
1. OK
Basically, local taxis do not charge meters, and everything depends on bargaining. In the urban area of Yangon, Myanmar’s largest city, a taxi for 10-20 yuan can basically be done. Bus tickets are very cheap, usually 0.5-1.5 yuan; if you choose a chartered bus, plus the driver, the cost for a day is only 100-150 yuan. Some tourists will also choose to rent a battery car, the rent is 30-40 yuan a day.
2. Eat
Although Myanmar's economy has developed in recent years, there are still some daily necessities that need to be imported from Thailand. In large cities such as Yangon, Mandalay, and Naypyidaw, prices are relatively high. In Myanmar, curry salad is a very important local food. Burmese people like to cut the food into small pieces and mix them together to eat.
A local breakfast will cost about 5-7 yuan, and a simple Chinese set meal or sandwich will cost about 25-30 yuan. Myanmar is a country rich in fruits with a wide variety of fruits, ranging from one or two to five or six yuan for freshly squeezed juice.
3. Live
In terms of accommodation, there are differences between the off-season and the peak season. Take Yangon, where prices are relatively high, for example. A listed 3-star hotel in the city center is about two to three hundred yuan in the off-season, while it is likely to rise to three to four hundred dollars in the peak season. Youth hostels and family hotels are more suitable for poor travellers, with a cost of 80-150 yuan per night.
4. Scenic area
There is no child price in Myanmar scenic spots. When buying tickets, whether it is a bus or scenic spot tickets, they are charged as adults. The ticket price of Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, a famous scenic spot in Myanmar, costs 40-50 yuan, and the price of Inle Lake is the highest at Inle Lake, which costs more than 60 yuan.
On the whole, the consumption level in Myanmar has risen to a certain extent with the influx of international tourists this year. RMB 100 can barely support a day’s eating and drinking trips. As for other things, you will have to do extra expenses.
