Currency Exchange Offices

The truth is that it is one of the most frustrating experiences, but you have to jump through hoops to make your trip to Myanmar. In August 2011, after reaching the city, I had a lot of trouble. Switching to Kyats can not be done in exchange offices, but only on the black market, where you multiply by several times the value of euros or dollars. The problem is that we have moved from the 1000 kyat per dollar to about 760 kyat. You have to be careful, because some of the money is not real. So it is better to change at Bayoke market, which is a wide street near the Sule Pagoda (about 500 meters).
