Yangon (Rangoon) Practical information

Money & costs

Money

Yangon generally offers the best exchange rate in the country. Touts around Sule Paya or the northern end of the adjacent Mahabandoola Garden offer the best rates, but you shouldn’t make the exchange before counting all the kyat. Hotels and guesthouses are the safer option.

At a pinch, a couple of top-end hotels (such as the Sedona Hotel) accept credit cards.
