CMfoodie Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Would appreciate some information on Taunggyi. Approx. size of expat community? Housing - Western standards? Good? Bad? Rents? Western food restaurants? Groceries? Imports available? Thanks in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazey Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Last time I was there, there was one. Don't know if he is still about, but he used to run a vineyard. You can go there for some nice snacks a few bottles of plonk so maybe you'll catch up. He used to have a few younger french lads there, but I dont know if thats still the case. Take your golf clubs and a camera as the scenery is awesome and there's plenty of golf courses for you to waste a few hours on. From what I remember of the town, dont expect a Big-C or central (but then again, things may have changed!). What are you going up there for? Maybe I can hook you up with a few like minded guys who may occasionally travel up those parts... Edited March 4, 2014 by phazey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dharmaone Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The vineyard is probably this - http://www.myanmar-vineyard.com/ - very nice, a short drive from Taunggyi. I think the owner is germanBoris who runs Le Planteur in Yangon own half of this hotel in Inle lake - it's about 40 mins drive from Taunggyi. They have excellent western food and bring in ingredients, you may be able to buy some ingredients from them http://www.inleviewpoint.com/ I don't think you'll find many expats in Taunggyi itself but let us know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
