Not only that, but Myanmar also offers a variety of potential religious tourism, cultural tourism, and historical tourism, as well as hotels.

Shopping at this market to buy souvenirs during a visit to Yangon seems to be an activity, but it should be noted that this market is open from 9 am to 5 pm from Tuesday – Sunday. The Bogyoke market does not operate on Monday.

Just an illustration that 1 picture of a Myanmar T-shirt or label is sold at 3000 Kyats and Myanmar key chains are sold at 1000 kyats.
