- Bangkok Airways operates from Suvarnabhumi (BKK) terminal – convenient for international connections but avoid during rush hour traffic
- For Yangon airport arrival, exchange only a small amount at the airport (poor rates) – better rates available downtown at Sule Pagoda area
- Consider overnight flights if connecting through Singapore – some airlines offer overnight layovers at no extra cost, letting you explore the city
- Myanmar uses cash economy – bring sufficient USD or local kyat as credit cards are rarely accepted outside major hotels
- Download Grab app before arrival in Yangon – it works reliably and is safer than regular taxis for tourists
