Does anyone know how many hours it is to drive from Yangon to Mandalay? In comparison, how much to fly (return)? I%26#39;d like to compare the cost/time factor between renting a driver/car and flying (for 3 people).
Also I heard that the exchange rate has just gone up to $1USD = 1500 kyats as of yesterday - can anyone confirm that is true? Hope so :o)
Yangon to Mandalay
1500 Kyat to the USD LOL.. wishful thinking or bloody minded ambition depending on how you look at it.
In Yangon you are likely to get between 1250 and 1275 for new USD 100.00 Notes.
The flight is around USD 80.00 (each).... Yangon air, Bagan air, or Mandalay air.. all same same.
Roads are pretty bad.. Expect it to take 15 to 18 hours if you were to go non stop.... From memory it鈥檚 about 600 Km.... but feels like 6000...
Look at rail as an option perhaps?
Yangon to Mandalay
P. S. that%26#39;s USD 80.00 each way, per person... Can%26#39;t help you with cost of car.. sorry.
