Cost of Living in Yangon, Myanmar Yangon apartment rental: $1500 per month Since the country opened up in 2011, rents have skyrocketed. Monthly rent for a 900 square foot two bedroom two bath in a chic area, or in a new or renovated building, ranges from about $1500 to $7,000.

In an older building like share downtown, we pay $1200 rent. This is with limited amenities and came partially furnished. (In 2010, it was $400.) The catch in Myanmar is that they demand 1 year’s rent in ADVANCE! Ouch. On the plus side, electricity is dirt cheap, and we don’t pay anything for water.

Electricity: $40 – $60 with a lot of air-con use. Internet: Semi high speed runs us about $150 a month after a $500

install charge. This is a bargain compared to a few years ago if you could even get it. Prices will continue to come down as speeds increase. When they get reasonable, I will sign up. For now, I access at work. G-Mail loads so slowly it’s not worth bothering with most of the time. Early morning is best.

Phone: Mobile phone use costs me no more than $20 per month with pre-paid time.

Furniture: Runs the price gamut, but quality stuff is on par with U.S. prices.

Sat TV: With international channels and movies is about $20 per month after a $100 install.

Food: $400 per month Yangon doesn’t have much as yet by way of the modern big size Supermarket. What they do have in western food products are quite expensive. Overall prices average about the same as the US. For dining at home, your best deals are to be had in chicken, rice & potatoes! The chicken is not as cheap as Bangkok, but still a lot cheaper than the US.

Street food and cheap restaurant food is generally inferior to Bangkok and a little more expensive. A great value compared to the US and EU is to be had in quality local restaurants, all the way up to fine dining. Excellent Burmese lunch entree’s in nicer restaurants range from $3.00 to $5.00. Dinner entrees are slightly more.

When it comes to For Fine Dining, a $250 dinner for two with dessert (sans wine) in the US, will cost you less than $150 in Yangon, and the quality is world class. At Le Planteur, owned & operated by a Michelin Star chef, dinner includes a free limousine pick-up!

Common Grocery Items in Yangon Eggs: $2.50 a dozen Milk: $1.75 a liter Bread: $1 – $5 Lunchmeat: $6 – $7 for 10 slices Cheese: $15 a pound American Mayonnaise: $5 – $10 per jar, 16 – 32 oz. Rice: $4 – $8, 5 kilos Boneless Chicken Breast: $2.50, 1/2 kilo Ground Beef: $4 – $5, 1/2 kilo Beef Steak: $7.50 – $10, 1/2 kilo Mutton: $6 – $8, 1/2 kilo

Liquor:

Myanmar Beer: $1.00 (half liter bottle) $1.50 – $5 at restaurants Imported Beer: $2.00 (half liter bottle) Imported Wine: $7 a bottle is about the cheapest, on up to the

stratosphere

Imported Box Wine: 5 liters $15 Hard Liquor: Seemingly tax-free! Local Scotch Whiskey or Rum: $3 – $5 75 cl. Johnny Walker Red: $15 liter Chivas Regal (12 year): $30 liter Jose Cuero Tequila: $16, 75 cl. Quality Imported Vodkas, Rums, Gins and Liqueurs all come at better

than Western prices

Health Care in Yangon Not available! OK, there is one international standard hospital (ostensibly) in the entire country, and that’s in Yangon. If you have fragile health or serious issues develop, your best bet is a 1 hour flight to Bangkok. Medicines are very cheap, most often generic and made in India. But be sure to go to a quality pharmacy. Some Western brands are available. Massage: Full body, $6. Foot/Leg, $3.

Transportation Costs in Yangon Taxis: Dirt cheap, about $8 for an hour ride to the airport from

downtown. Vehicles are mostly new these days, avoid the old rattle traps held together with hope and bailing wire. And be 100% sure your driver knows where he’s going. When in any doubt whatsoever, get another cab!

Now heavy in traffic jam in Yangon. Skytrain or Subway: None. Buses: Local, forget about it. Crowded and dirty and take forever. Long

distance, great value for lux buses but don’t expect to sleep, as videos play at full blast all night long. Expect rough roads.

In Country Flights: Average cost for any main destination is about $110 one way, give or take. Schedules are limited and can change on a whim.

Trains: Cheap, if you like long distance roller coasters.
