3 things to note when you go Myanmar

Thanks markyap for sharing the information

No problem

Thanks for the great tips markyap.

Could I ask you, what is the electrical grid infrastructure like? is there regular electricity in the cities uninterrupted 24 hours 7 days a week?

power are general up but there will be some point where it will "flicker" then up again. Not all the time. So don't be alarmed. Hotels have back up generator so no worries.

I beg to differ - unless the situation has changed dramatically in the last two years since I left Yangon in 2010, there are still quite long power cuts in many districts. You are certainly right about the hotels - all mid-range and upper-class hotels have generators, so do many shops and businesses, for a generator is essential in Myanmar, as is a back-up water supply (for an expat, not a tourist, these are probably the most important things to keep in mind when looking for a place to live)

you can be right about it. 2 years and the changes may not be significant. Yangon and Mandalay are the 2 most populated states, but yet backward

Hi Mark,

Can I check if electrical appliances bought in Singapore can be used in Yangon?  Is the power plug & voltage the same?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Mopeey,

I believe there are mostly 2 pin plugs over here but 3 pin ones have been installed recently.
