Road Travel

A dangerous method since most are real bad.


They built a excellent highway between the old and the new capital which had the fatal effect that many cars crashed out at some curves since the people drove to fast. 

There was nothing like this before so they had no experience, it took several month until this was under control. A few more destination are also better now such as to the west coast where the main beaches are for the people from the capital notably Chaungtha and Ngwe Saung (Silver Beach).


Main road to south Myanmar behind Bago

The worst is probably to the south behind Bago (Pegu) which is a real mess although it's getting 
better a bit, but the fact still is that the south half of the country is only accessible via a bad road. Considering what happen a few dozen kilometer on the Thai side where the four lane Highway 4 runs north south they better do something. 

ox carts are still very common in the center where it is flat

ox carts in Bagan still the usual means of transport


Heading south is better by aircraft or ship which are ocean and coastal vessels.
