In-Depth Information
Keep in mind that journey times can differ immensely from the estimates we've given,
and depend on road conditions and the health of your bus.
Many hotels can book tickets for you and several agents and bus companies have of-
fices alongside
Aung San Stadium
; expect to pay a couple thousand kyat more here
than for tickets bought at the stations - a few bus companies offer transfers from Aung
San Stadium to the bus stations, which can be handy.
Bus companies with offices at the Aung San Stadium:
Mandalay, Monywa, Nay Pyi Taw, Pyin Oo Lwin (Maymyo) and Taunggyi.
