Top 10 Things to do for Honeymoon in Yangon (Rangoon), Yangon Region
Yangon (formerly known as Rangoon) is no longer the capital of Myanmar, but it has experienced a huge increase in tourism recently. Book early, as hotel rooms are sometimes hard to find! While you’re in town, the Shwedagon Pagoda, an immense, ancient Buddhist shrine, is a must-see—TripAdvisor travelers recommend visiting at sunrise or sunset.

The Shwedagon pagoda is visible from everywhere in the city ... and it will draw you to it like moths to a flame ...Late afternoon and evenings is the best time as it can get too hot underfoot during the day ( bare feet at all Pagodas & temples throughout the country ) ... It is a vast complex and as the sun sets, the locals light up the candles all around the Pagoda and it makes for some wonderful photo and video opportunities .. Learn a bit about the history of the pagoda ( 2,600 years old ) and be respectful of the dress code ( nothing short or skimpy, especially women ) ... I wore denim jean shorts to my knees and had to "rent ' a llongi for $10 as i was deemed inappropriate ... Not going here while in Yangon is like not looking at the Eiffel tower in paris or the Opera house in Sydney .. it is simply THE thing to do in Yangon

I purchased an engagement ring for my fiancee at My-Hoya, in Minge's new shop located in downtown Yangon. Minge was super helpful and showed me lots of different options, styles and gemstones from her collection, all in the comfort of the new shop based in a converted apartment with plenty of refreshments so I had plenty of time and didn't feel rushed. In the end I decided on a beautiful blue sapphire from Myanmar and Minge set it in a custom-made pave style gold engagement ring - with matching earrings. The stone and the ring look great and my fiancee loves it! It is really nice to have something unique to remind us of our time in Myanmar rather than a traditional diamond, and I would not have been able to make the choice without visiting the shop and seeing all the options in person. But much more than this I have to say a special thank you to Minge for making the ring for us during very difficult circumstances. I ordered just two days before the military coup but Minge still managed to make and deliver the ring on-time for our proposal on Valentine's day! I think she was just as excited as I was and really keen for my partner to have her perfect ring, she pulled out all the stops. We've since become friends with Minge and her husband Gili and had some more opal earrings made before we left Myanmar, which are also fantastic. We hope to be back one day and see you both again soon!

Visited Sapel after reading reviews online and came here to do the Monsoon Season promotion (60min for 15k). Patient and very well-mannered ladies helped us with our massage (Rachel and Yuri). While not as strong as the traditional foot massage by Chinese masseur , overall still a good experience for us! Recommended to come for a relaxing session after a Long day of traveling!
