Bagan (formerly Pagan, but the people here were read as Baga) is a city located in central Myanmar. Capital Bagan was the capital of the Kingdom of Pagan, exist from the ninth century to the thirteenth century in this region. During the period from the eleventh century to the late thirteenth century - the heyday of the Kingdom of Pagan, has over 4,000 pagodas, temples and monasteries were built here. And over 2,200 traces of this monument remains to this day. So Bagan is now considered as an "archaeological city." For those who love to travel, attractive Bagan par with Angko Wat, Cambodia.
The following article is synthesized share trip from your actual Giang Tran Myanmar in early May 8/2014. Hope the new information on Myanmar soil will help you get more information in the upcoming trip. If you need to ask more about Bagan Myanmar travel experience you can contact with you Giang Tran email address below, or reply to this article below. Thank you Giang Tran was sharing this article.
General information about Bagan Myanmar
In Myanmar apply the surcharge according to the Bagan area so when you will have to buy tickets for 15 $ or 15.000kyats. What you pay in cash, but also the exchange rate at the end of July when I change at the airport is $ 1 ~ 970kyats. And remember to keep this ticket if not extra 1 time charge again. In Bagan and Yangon, Mandalay, Inle Lake, you can use $ or Kyats. But in one of its seats, for every $ 1 count is 1000K, but in one of the examples elsewhere 20.000k you pay in $, then you will pay $ 22. In Bagan almost impossible to use up the best card you bring cash and should be changed at the airport for the best rates.
Security areas very safe, because there must first police force called tourism (Tourism Police) arranged in scattered areas of interests and if necessary they will immediately assist you.

Typical of Bagan and sunny weather. But the period of 1.2 months will be chilly, as to Bagan this season you should wear warm. But the tourist low season in May fell 7.8 Bagan as it is the rainy season. But in fact their day to Bagan was still sunny sky 29.7 and tourists are still very crowded, low point not seen anything.
Sightseeing in Bagan area almost as the temples so the girls should pay attention to dress a little. O Men are not picked too, can wear silly but avoid the type 2 females, wire, tank top or cropped top and miniskirt. There should also be long skirts past the knee. Both men and women shoes attention not go inside this area (not even all
The area in Bagan
City Bagan is divided into 3 main areas: Old Bagan, New Bagan and Nyaung town - U.
- When you reach Bagan by bus or plane to the area, the town offers. Bagan Market is also located in this area. The area near the large resorts, such as Amazing Bagan Resort modern, Aureum Palace Hotel Bagan ... and includes a golf course anymore.
- Hotels and restaurants are concentrated in New Bagan. This zone is a new construction, Bagan administration building to evacuate people within Old Bagan out here for well preserved Old Bagan area
- Site visit is in Old Bagan: the temple, the temple, stupa (that works with the bell shape, is a solid, people can only pray from outside and not be inside) ...
Go and Go Bagan like?
Bagan traveler usually by 2 vehicles are buses and domestic aircraft carriers of Myanmar.
- Depart from Yangon, Mandalay, Inle Lake or the bus company have very good service. Beautiful car, seat comfort, convenience, usually scheduled and easy chiu.Neu fare from Yangon Vietnam tourists often use the services of JJ Express or Elite Express. JJ depart at 7:30 pm, to 4:30 am, fares 20.000k. Elite depart later than at 9:00 pm, to 7:00 am, fares 16.000k. But in conversation with a group of 4 other Vietnam in Bagan I met then you'd said that 16,000 is the purchase price through agents, while buying on hotels Yangon, only 15,000 tickets still on 14.500k record. But in fact that I also hold a ticket in hand but this looks Myanmar typefaces distinguish nor on how many tickets were printed money. There is even a garage Shwe See Khon run all day, but people travel as we are apparently often choose bus clock to save time. Other itineraries from other locations to Bagan, you can refer to this link buses follow: http://www.ananda-travel.com/UK/myanmar_bus_fares_uk.htm
- You can also fly to Bagan, the airline Air Bagan, Air Mandaly, Air KBZ, Yangon Airways and Asian wings. All these carriers are flying to Bagan with ATR, small, tight, like bus stops to catch at home. When in Yangon you have to talk to a group of middle-aged aunt, and she had just come from Bagan to Yangon aircraft that are extremely surprised and disappointed. She flew from Bagan the capital that began landing guest several times to go from morning until 11 am on to Yangon. While the average one-way fare in the range of 80 ~ $ 120. Time and fare you can refer to this link: http://www.airmyanmar.com/airBagan_price.php. But the experience of those who have been away, have said that fares booked through agents seems to be the most stable.
- As to the Bagan I have caught a few hands motorcyclists from Yangon to Bagan. But when exchange with Minthu - coachman put his outings, he said very few people like that. Because of the distance from Yangon to Bagan so far (nearly 700km) but very little road almost motorcycles. Also when to Bagan, immediately will have parts (like your police but here they call the Tourism Police) asked by your international driving.
Travelling in Bagan Myanmar
Tourists in Bagan's favorite ride horses (Horse cart). If you rent a carriage show you around all day will be 25,000, and half a day was 15,000. The coachman was not a professional guide but also can show you the highlights of each place they take you to. They do not put you to take sides in each temple, the temple, but also give you a rough guide through the necessary points. For example, how can the temple stands a scenic climb down, temples can only go around, or for any position is the most prominent of such works ... If you prefer to have local guides go Finally, you may contact the front desk of your hotel at prices $ 30 or 30.000kyats / day.
The second means of cars. These delegations go east often use this medium at 40,000 / day. But retail customers will often use this medium for purposes of pick-up from the bus station to hotel and vice versa. Pick-up rates in each direction is 10.000kyats.
Jobmaster o Bagan
Electric bikes are also popular because things means just help visitors get tired when biking under a sunny 40 degrees of Bagan, can just visit, stopping his liking. The rent is 7,000 electric bike / car. If you go east union can you be down to 6,000 / vehicle. Electric bikes you can rent at the hotel or near the hotel always has the car rentals.
Cycling here is the number 1 choice for travelers with more time, like live slow and supple knees. Because the roads in the area are dirt roads red temple, is on track to desertification should be quite hard if you do not have a good health. Rents bikes usually 1,500 / day. But the small road running around the ruins is the trail, narrow and dusty but paved road sand of Bagan is clean, beautiful and lush.
Along on the road or in the area of interests are drinking water tanks to serve tourists. The cycling tired you can stop drinking, resting and by the way to talk to the indigenous people.
Eating anything in Bagan?
Eating in Bagan can say is very cheap. 3-4 Caller many dishes and drinks when calculated payment amount was only about 400-500k Vietnam. Area food easy to eat, taste Vietnamese people, not too oily as Thailand or Malaysia in the country, form their dishes also feel more attractive. The area in Bagan have all the good restaurants. You just choose to nice restaurants, serving cuisine styles, from Myanmar to Asian dishes dishes, European dishes are very tasty but cheap. Or can refer to a few restaurants below:
- In the area of the town of Nyaung - U, you can enjoy dishes Myanmar and American dishes in a restaurant Weather Spoon's Bagan Restaurant, which is appreciated for food, cheap but service a bit slow .
Good restaurants in Old Bagan
+ Queen Restaurant, Golden Emperor Restaurant near each other, have similar styles. At Golden Emperor restaurant with delicious lemon sauce fish and attractive, you should try. The curry dishes are appetizing with his Vietnam population. But the dishes featured in this region is the green tea salad, are not attractive at all. (You also have in case you do not taste like yours.)
+ Moon Vegetarian is a restaurant serving vegetarian dishes with a romantic setting, great food, but the price is affordable. Or just opposite the Yar Pyi Vegetarian vegetarian restaurant with quick service style and very enthusiastic.
- If you like to savor for indigenous Myanmar, you can find a restaurant buffet Myanmar House Foods, the price of 3,500 / person.
- About drinks, in Myanamar as people often like Bagan Myanmar beer, drink quite bold, easy to drink. In restaurants, beer bottles (greater than their bottle) and beer cans priced 2.000k there 1.200k price. When walking around in the neighborhood, you can easily find a teahouse with coffee of indigenous peoples. Coffee is, of course, not pale and delicious coffee as Vietnam match. But tea which people here call "tea mix" taste quite strange. Save this tea like milk tea, but black beans flavored water and you should try. In this shop, people often supplied dumplings but sweet peas and sugar workers. Also, to beverage to drink lemonade. Luxury here is lemon yellow (Lime) rather than green lemon (Lemon) as I should very fragrant, delicious.
Hotels in Bagan Myanmar
The general level of prices, the hotels and motels in Myanmar generally expensive but the quality is not the price that in other areas. Average will fall to $ 40 / day. New Bagan area of new hotels and better than Old Bagan area, again there are many choices to travelers often choose the solution is in New Bagan and go out into the surrounding area.
Travel Asia recently quite handy when you have more pages online booking service. One of the good and valuable pages or the pages Agoda people, you can check room rates and areas of Myanmar Bagan here.
For most tourists to the hotel not correct in time to check in but the hotels here are very comfortable and facilitate maximum client. If a room is available they are ready for you on from 7am. If no availability they are also facilitated by arranging for furniture, waiting room ... Or if you write a mail to the hotel prior to the agreement you can also rent a room from morning till night without 12 : 00 to 12:00 the next day before. Prices may reach an agreement if direct mail with special circumstances such.
The Resort has a high price, about 120-220 $ / double room but the room very much, easy to set, not the worry out of the room as other areas like Mandalay or Inle Lake. However, reservations are booked through the website regularly with 30 ~ 50% discount. In the Old Bagan Bagan Thiripyitsaya Sanctuary Resort have either Bagan Thande Hotel Resort 3-4 stars but good reviews on the booking site.
Guesthouse in the Old Bagan is priced a little lower. For example, in New Wave your clean room, nice, $ 25 / double room (not including breakfast). You can email the hotel reservation without any newwavebagan@gmail.com homepage. Or Winner Guesthouse next door for $ 20 / double (including breakfast) but not nice and clean with. In this area is very convenient for you to enjoy the food at the restaurant next door delicious and cheap. You can see the price and availability of 2 guesthouse here.
Services of GuestHouse also not inferior to the hotel price ~ $ 40 in other areas of Bagan where. As soon as you book a room, they have suggested to you the services that you might have used when Bagan: transfer from bus station or airport, carriage tours, guides ... The price they are its overall costs as mentioned above and is not expensive compared to the price in Vietnam so you do not need a headache about how to pay the price. Only with the coachman spoke English very understandable but also hear people talk a little bit more difficult. With capital stunted his English but I could understand what he said that day Minthu and talk to him freely, hi hi.
If you like wandering in a residential area in the town of Nyaung - U and enjoy the food in the central market, you should rent property in the area. Thante Nyaung - U Hotel is a hotel that was rated good, beautiful scenery, swimming pool and onsite restaurant, spacious rooms. If you take the time to monitor prices on the booking page will accommodate the price ~ $ 50-60.
In Bagan, the hotel offers free wifi but you will be very disappointed because the network speed here than in Vietnam and possibly wifi but did not do anything.

Travel Bagan Myanmar
All visitors to Bagan like to Angko Wat want to be looking at these works bear the mark of time here. If you go with a local guide or ride a horse, you will have a schedule to go through the highlights in Bagan. They will also ask what you like most and take you to places suit your wishes. And if you have more time to themselves to explore, discover, hire a bike and carrying a map of Bagan.
Each works in Bagan are bringing their mark so if to say that merit temple or pagoda will go most unfair to Bagan. Everyone has a personal feel to let themselves assess myself as a tour Old Bagan.
Mingalar Zedi Pagoda
Temple is a form of "stupa" as explained above. So visitors will climb the stairs to go up to the top of the tower.
The temple is located between an empty land of sunshine and wind should thus, be able to look at the entire Old Bagan in his sight. This is his first temple arrived in the morning, the air very fresh and can say I like being overwhelmed by what is watched.
This is the last great temple was built in the late thirteenth century before Pagan Kingdom was invaded Mongolia.
Sulamani Temple Guphaya
The temple is called "jewel", was built in the XII century, where most preserved frescoes on the walls. This temple was damaged quite badly and renovated several times, undergoing restoration temple that no longer keep sharp lines of architecture, but this is still a tourist attraction in superlative in Bagan .
The temple has four sides, each side has a Buddhist temple and be connected by wide corridors, winding. Her to the temple just as about a thousand students of the Academy of Military newly enrolled Myanmar that had come visiting. Feeling very much like a military exercise because you also fast entering, bowed out as quickly and go very fast.
Temple DhammaYangyi
It is considered as one of the largest temples in Bagan, architecturally very different from the work in this area. It's like a pyramid. The temple was built under King Narathu during 3 years and abandoned midway when King was murdered. But the reason why it has shaped pyramid has yet to be found.
There is a very interesting story behind this temple that I think will be more attractive when you find out. Have you just bought an item of the girls, boys selling souvenirs in the temple and they will become a very enthusiastic tour guide for you. I've bought a pair of King and Queen statues associated with the story behind the temple and they told her the story involves two statues of Buddha, the story of the building of the temple like ...
In the courtyard of the temple also sell traditional puppets of Myanmar very cute that you can buy as gifts for relatives and friends. You can pay the price when buying this stuff, but in fact they were quite cheap and generous but just a little if you want to have a dedicated tour guide.
Ananda Temple Phaya
This is the temple of the best preserved and most intact until now. Speaking as he guides us, it's "original" most. Perhaps that is why this Ananda temple complex has a dazzling beauty that comes from afar all the guests have been sucked into its eye.
The temple has four gates, open the four directions, cross shaped architecture, the people of Myanmar as a symbol of Buddhist wisdom. Despite her to populations at almost 12pm Ananda Temple, midday sun, go barefoot even in the campus outside the main temple that still want to take forever to get a glimpse of the temple from all four sides to not miss the beauty of the temple.
This is the only temple where you can buy gold leaf to rub up prices 1000K 4 statues. Each statue here takes on different, cultural influence of India, China ... Discover the secret behind the statue by her showed you at the top if you do not go together a professional tour guide.
Shwegu Gyi Temple
The temple was built in the twelfth century, under King Alaung Shikhara, located directly in front of the palace gates should be also known as Nyaung - U Phaya. For her, this temple very attractive. From these details very sophisticated decoration on the front of the temple.
The wooden door marked time inside the temple.
By the way you can look at the entire surrounding area.
The temple is situated on a high pedestal bricks climb up when I thought the house sits on top of a hill. Until now go down, pay close attention over his new found incorrect.
Temple Shwesandaw
This location is considered "hot" for the sightseeing Bagan Dawn and Dusk embraces the ancient citadel Bagan down.
Because the structure of the surface Shwesandaw 4, 5 floors, each side has stairs so very convenient for travelers to see Dawn or Dusk.
The stairs are steep, high grade, narrow so the management had to mount a large steel tube-like corridor for visitors can climb easily.
We arrived here at 5pm where visitors gather here was very crowded, completely covering several floors of the temple to see the moment of the last feeble rays farewell to the temple after a long day.
In addition to this work, on the road you can see a lot of the other temples. Do important things it is popular or not, stop and look at it the way you like.
Bagan not only the temple, temple, stupa ... Bagan there are people loving and respectful culture.
If you like funky, go to the central market in the town of Nyaung - U in the morning to know life, living habits of people like.
Otherwise, you can go into the neighborhoods, greet them with "Mingalabar" slow to see and live the beauty of life here.
I was going into a village located close to the waterfront area Ayeyarwady, play with the kids under big trees and feel the slowness of time here.
The older children are more responsive, immediately brought them to paint postcards or rudimentary wooden rings to invite tourists to buy them. But we are still very lovely.
The house, alley entrance, fencing of the people here is quite similar to the Central Highlands but somewhere flickers are temples of Bagan with bold colors.
So the longer you hesitate any longer? Come to Bagan before waves of modern life to flow here and make disappear the inherent beauty of this place.
