Helpful Tips
Download the Mandalar Minn Express app. Book inter-city buses straight from downtown terminal. No middleman. Seats secured in seconds.
Motorbike taxis swarm 26th & 82nd Street intersection. Zip across the grid fast. Bargain before you hop on.
GrabBike at Zegyo Market when traffic snarls. Two wheels slice through jams. Cars crawl. You fly.
Mandalay Central Railway Station runs morning trains to Pyin Oo Lwin. Locals ditch buses for these carriages. Cooler ride. Better views.
Common Scams to Avoid
Taxi drivers at Mandalay International Airport love the script. They swarm arrivals, insisting the prepaid taxi counter is closed, then pitch inflated flat rates to city hotels. Ignore them. March straight past the chorus and head for the official taxi desk inside the terminal. It never closes. It prints fixed-price coupons for every arriving flight. Simple.
Private sharks hover near the sliding doors. They whisper that the airport shuttle bus has been cancelled, then quote fares three times the norm. Lies. The shuttle rolls up at the clearly marked stop outside. Follow the signs. Ignore the storytellers.
Baggage porters pounce. They seize suitcases without asking, then demand sky-high fees, from dazed international arrivals. Say no. A polite, firm shake of the head is enough. If you do need help, settle on a small tip first. Then hand over the bag.
