Yangon in april

Is it difficult to gain hotel resevations in Yangon, due to the Water festival.

Should i book now from Australia, to be safe.

Are their any hotel sites that offer discount some one may suggest.

The few i have been using are not very reliable.

Thanks

We booked our Mandalay hotel directly... (Mandalay View Inn) and were lucky to be ';upgraded'; to their new Hotel... ';Red Canal';

For Bagan we got the girls at Red Canal to arrange New Park Hotel for us and it worked out well. There we got them to recommend and book Aung Min Galar, Nyaung Shwe (Inle).. again it worked fine.

Before we left we had also booked the Kandawgyi Palace, Yangon through

www.hoteltravel.com

They do have good deals on some hotels in Myanmar.

We also ended up spending a night at Traders hotel... booked directly on their site.

For the cheaper guesthouses... arranging directly or just walk in should be fine... For the more upmarket hotels... you get the better deal if you book in advance on-line... I expect that you would get the best deal the earlier you book as when the cheap rooms are booked.. you end up having to pay the going rate.

I haven%26#39;t been to Myanmar during the water festival but from all reports that I%26#39;ve heard or read it is totally manic! I don%26#39;t think it will be much of a problem getting a room, as most travellers and celebrants during the festival are locals, but transportation between some cities - and within the cities themselves - could be tricky, not to mention very wet!

Hot Season!

if you want you can get hotel even high season but you should get good person for that,so from Internet rate for travelers that is a bit of higher then local tour company which get contract rate.In April that is low season you can get very easy to reserve,that you do not need to prepay to some one but that you should be sure for arrival date and when do you want to stay at hotel that we need if not we will not get good favor from the hotel,

good luck and welcome to BURMA

April in Yangon/Myanmar, is the most costly period due to water festival. Every time you pay double as it%26#39;s the holiday nobody seems working.

For hotels %26amp; flights, as it%26#39;s the world of commitment you can have the stable pricing directly from hotels or agencies *(no way to ask you a double price for being in holidays season), in-land flights as well. The only matter is ';available or NOT'; in the period.

For meals and public or private transportation, they will rise up much more than you expected.

On-line reservation with discounted price * I%26#39;d recommend you to log on a one-stop sites for Myanmar hotels www.lodgingmyanmar.com and see pricing comparing with the other famous sites. Of course, check available with %26#39;em no need to pay.

You should book from Australia especially in Mandalay. As far as I know, most of the hotel in Mandalay are fully books already in this Water festival 2007.You may not have chance already.

Mostly, through Myanmar Travel Agency rates are cheaper than you book direct to Hotel as they get better rate.

Good luck and get wet this summer in Myanmar.
