Dear Users who plan on visiting to Yangon, Myanmar, or have any friends who'd go,

Hello!

If you plan on paying less for your accommodations in Yangon, keep reading!

My uncle runs a local guest house by the name of "Mahabandoola Guest House" that offers one of the cheapest rates in Yangon that I know of.

Rates :

• 5$ per person per night in a single room
  
• 10$ for 2 person per night in a double room
  
• 15$ for 3 person per night in a double room with an extra mattress
  
• 10$ for a single person per night in a DOUBLE room (some people prefer this for some reason, befuddles me)
  

The place is also located right in the middle of downtown Yangon, close to landmarks nearby that are considered "must-see" sites.

Must see sites nearby (Landmarks, places of cultural value etc.) :

• Bogyoke Aung Sann Market (The one and only - biggest market in Yangon, the place you should go for Souvenirs, Gems, Jewelry etc.)
  
• Sule Pagoda ( Only about 50 m from the staircase to the Guest House)
  
• The Water Ferry Terminal (If you're planning on going on an adventure to the other side of the river. I would but then .... I'd do a lot of things )
  
• Junction Mawtin Shopping Mall ( One of the only malls that makes you feel like you're in another country)
  
• Railway station (IF YOU'RE FEELING EXTRA ADVENTUROUS)
  

Offers accommodation of sorts; single-bed, 2 single-beds, double-bed, and double-bed with an extra mattress for a third person.

Offers air-conditioned room at the same rates as normal ones with fans (more on this later), however they are limited (not every room) so if you could call and book ahead, you'd have more chances of sleeping cool.

Pictures provided below.

(BLACK ARROWS POINT TO THE SULE PAGODA )

Supplies Soap, Towels and Clean Bedsheets and Pillowcases (Surprise! ... All jokes aside, I've been to some "Motels" that didn't have these, just adding so that people don't assume the same)

Pros (In My Humble Opinion) :

• Conveniently located in downtown Yangon
  
• Friendly Owner (He's quite outgoing, even though his English is not perfect - it is quite clear, he speaks a bit of Japanese too.)
  
• Cheap way-out-of-your-mind rates. (Worth it too. Considering the location and that the competition charges you around 15$ per person per night for Air-conditioned and breakfast and with private bathroom. (10 extra bucks for a breakfast and private WC ?! Come on ! Just ditch those! )
  
• Safe and monitored.(Has 4 security cameras installed. Not in the bedroom, mind you.)
  

​Cons (Yeah, it has some and I'm not ashamed to admit it) :

• Located on the 2nd floor, stairs only (Might be a Problem fpr people with cardiovascular diseases who can't really climb. Or with weak legs. Or with no legs. )
  
• Infrequent blackouts (Runs a generator for lights and fans, but however no air-conditioning during this period)
  
• Not Private Bathrooms and Toilets
  
• Rooms very basic (Only bed, light, Air-conditioning OR fan, and.... floor)
  

Extra info : Mahabandoola was a commander-in-chief of armed forces of Burma and is also the name of the street .. so if you lose your way, quite easy to get back.

WELL! You are all welcome if you do decide to come. So yeah....

Wait! I almost forgot!

Thaksin was in Burma last week before travelling to Nepal. He told reporters in Nepal that his visit was to smooth the visit of his sister, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. During the visit, he met Burma's President Thein Sein and former president Than Shwe.

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN ME.

Hello Everyone,

I couldnt help but remember reading a post that stated a place where we can get sand for free provided that we brought our own bags to put it in. Is there any chance you could tell me or repost it? Or Something? I think it will help a lot of people. Thanks a lot.

If anyone does remember..

Villy

Thanks Loads

But its quite a little bit worrying. I would be moving to the 4th Floor at the apartment next door if flood do comes and imagining what there left to do with no electricity is as horryfying as the thought of the flood itself.

Boring lol

Gotta go check tmr how tall the meter pole thingy is

Will the Electricity Be Cut Off Should My Area Be Flooded?

I live in Sukhumvit 103.

Flood relief operation center i think

Yeah, give her a break people. It's not like shes intending to sink Bkk.

Trying her best to save it. Sometimes lucks just against people.

Thanks Samran!

Considering that my parents married in Myanmar, will the Burmese Certificate Of Marriage be required as well?

Thanks

Hi again everyone,

So considering all the info i collect from the comments, the first thing that i need will be the house registration.

I am living with my father right now in the house that is registered in his mother's name.

So could anyone tell me what other documents i will need for my name to be registered into the household registration?

Thanks again very much,

Villy.

Wow.. thank you all for all the information.

I'm glad I could find A LOT of help here. ^^

Thanks Again.

I will report back to you guys how it goes.

P.s I never knew double spacing lines in comments really make it look good. lol

Hello everyone ,

My name is Villy. I don't exactly know how my status defined in Thai Government's words but here's the list of everything.

I was born in Myanmar and have Thai Birth Registration. Father is Thai while Mother is from Myanmar.

My father came to Myanmar some years ago and the Royal Embassy of Thailand in Myanmar issued me a Thailand Passport.

And now I am in Thailand.

Now I have my Thai Passport but do not have an Identification Card.

I know getting AN IDENTIFICATION CARD is very important so that I get to become officially Thai and I was wondering if anyone can help me/ tell me :

What i need to do? (Step by step please)

Where i need to go?

How much i need to pay ? (If there are any)

What documents do i need?

If you have heard of any cases like mine I would Very Much Appreciate if you told me how that case worked out.

To sum it up, the main question is : "HOW DO I GET MY THAI ID CARD (I already have my PASSPORT) "

I am 16 years of age.

Thank you,

Villy
