In Myanmar you can go by road from Thailand, more commonly as direct flights from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City to Yangon, in addition to cheap flights of Air Asia have transited through Bangkok.

Each flight will have a front row separately to process check-in for all flights in a day. After Check -in procedures you will be glued a piece of its own symbols to distinguish fly.
Travel Myanmar
City Yangon
Paya Pagoda Swedagon
Shwedagon Paya is the most famous temple Yangon, here you definitely have to visit this temple. Standing on top of Singuttara Temple Hill, and according to legend it was a location sacred position from the start with Time. The temple has four gates, if the taxi driver that you protect the main gate. Opening hours daily from 6: 30-22: 00.
Pagoda attracts tourists by design unique Buddhist temple of Theravada religion, but other briefly with temple in Thailand. Temple characteristic yellow color, night neon-lit temple featured in the city of Yangon. Temple also houses a large stupa garden, with traditional materials like wood and modern as the roof. Overall this is a typical temple, typical of Burmese Buddhism.
Like the temples in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, before reaching the temple you should dress long clothes, important is that you will have to put sandals or shoes outside. According to the experience that you should bring one bag, the shoes on and then put on backpack, and freely go barefoot in the temple (applies to all religious landscape in Myanmar).
The other attractions in Yangon
Botataung Temple: The temple is located on the waterfront of Yangon, the temple's name means "thousand generals", the name of this temple also shows the significance of it because it was the army generals in Myanmar and construction offerings. Temple worshiping Buddha's hair, sightseeing entrance is quite special when you go inside the tower circle through the small triangular room and back radial initial position to come out. The entire ceiling covered in gold inside the tower, the walls are trimmed with gold so you feel a little dazzle to go into the temple.
Sule Paya (Sule pagoda). Located between 4 busiest intersection in downtown Yangon. Sule Paya is a stupa octagonal 46m, associated with many stories of local lore. It was built 2000 years ago.
Bogyoke Aung San Market (Scott Market or): Market was built in 1926 under British colonial architecture, is a popular destination of Yangon. Here, you can buy handicrafts items Burmese unique, beautiful love of ornament, or a traditional Longchy of the boys, girls wear Myanmar on souvenirs.

At 5 Bagan temples, the temple you should not ignore are: Ananda Temple, Dhamma Yangyi, Sulamani Pahto, Pyathada Paya, Thatbyinnyu Pahto
Transportation between the temples usually chaise (carriages) and bicycles. Speaking English is called Horse cart, you can book car rental at the hotel (apart from one slightly higher price). Rent a cart to go back one day to about 25,000 kyats (equivalent to 550,000 Vietnam dong); the driver sometimes spoke little English, could double up "tour guide". Bike hire costs around 1,500 kyats per day. But cycling on sandy roads, under the strong sun and the hot air is not pleasant at all, especially for travelers accustomed to city life and office work.
