重要な旅行注意点
ビザ
2018年10月1日より1年間実験期間に団体ツアーまたは個人観光客はミャンマー入国観光ビザ免除で30日間滞在できますが延長は不可能です。入国の方法と場所は空路(ヤンゴン、マンダレーとネピドーの国際空港から入国)又はミャンマー・タイ国境から(ミャンマー政府が認めたゲート)タチレク、ミャワディ、コータウンとティーキーから)の入国は可能でございます。
言語
ミャンマーの主要言語はビルマ語ですが、都市や観光地の多くの人々も英語を話します。 観光地以外には様々な言語を話す民族がいます。
電話
コンビニでSIMカードを購入することが可能になりました。 使用方法はまずコンビニなどでSIMカードにお金を入れるための暗証番号を購入し、その暗証番号を電話会社に送信して支払った金額分のチャージを行います。
インターネット
ミャンマーではインターネットが普及しており、多くのカフェやホテルにWi-Fiがあります。 しかし、インターネットの速度は、場所に応じて劇的に変化する可能性があります。
電気
ミャンマーの電圧は220-240ボルトです。 複数のソケットタイプに適合するユニバーサルアダプタを用意することをお勧めします。 ミャンマーの電力供給は不安定なため停電になることもございます。 主要ホテルにはほとんどの場合発電機が備え付けられており、約15分の間に停電は直ります。
気候
ミャンマーは熱帯モンスーン気候です。 11月から2月の涼しい季節、3月から5月の暑い季節、6月から10月の雨季。 乾季が最も快適な旅行時間です。 涼しい季節には約28度程度、暑い時期には38度程度に及びます。
衣料
ミャンマー全土は一般的に高い気温で、軽量の綿とリネンの服は一年中お勧めです。 時には涼しい場合があり、夜間は暖かい服が必要になることがあります。 雨季以外でさえ、雨が降る可能性があるので、軽いレインコートを梱包することをお勧めします。 高所やさらに北へ旅行するときは、気温が大幅に下がる場合がございますので、暖かい服を持参することをお勧めします。
文化
国の主な宗教は仏教で、日常生活のあらゆる側面で人々の信仰心の高さに気付くでしょう。 お坊さんと尼さんは社会で非常に重要な地位を握っており、触れてはいけません。 肌を露出した服はしばしば眉をひそめられ、仏塔や寺院、僧院などでは許可されていません。靴や靴下も脱がなければなりません。
お金
ミャンマーの公式通貨は "kyat"( "チャット"と発音)です。 空港や地元の銀行支店にある公式の外貨両替所で、米ドルをkyatに交換することができます。 ドル札は綺麗な状態でミャンマーに持ち込むことをお勧め致します。落書きや破れていたり、くしゃくしゃだったりすると両替が出来ないこともあります。ミャンマーには600以上のATMがあり、VisaやMasterCardを受け入れています。
運輸
Buses will cost you around $7 to $30, depending on the length of your journey and what class of bus you use. Luxury ‘VIP’ buses, available on most popular routes, command a premium. Domestic flights typically cost between $40 and $200 for a single journey.
Taking the train can be more fun, but it is also slower than the bus – tickets range from $10 to $25 when booking online for ‘Upper Class’ seats or sleepers, again depending on how far you are travelling (tickets can be bought more cheaply at railway stations in kyat, and ‘Ordinary Class’ seats are cheaper still, although it usually make for an uncomfortable journey).
Travelling by boat is a unique way to experience Myanmar, and can be used for long-distance trips on the Irrawaddy River, with prices from $10 to $70, depending on the distance you are travelling and the speed of your boat.
Having a car and driver for the day usually allows you the greatest flexibility; taxis or car hire starts at around $50 per day.
食べ物と飲み物
ミャンマーでの食事は一般的に安価です。地元のレストランや喫茶店で簡単な食事をする場合は1000〜K3000キャット程度の料金になります。さらに洗練されたものや洋式の食べ物には、K4000 〜K8000くらいです。 都市の高級レストランや主要な観光スポットなどではより高価となります。
水道の水は絶対に飲まないようにしてください。市販の水を購入する必要があります。約K200〜K300で購入できます。。 国内ブランドのコークスは、ボトル1杯あたり約K800です。
ガイド
一部の地域では、ガイドを雇うことで本当のメリットが得られます。 プロのガイドは、通常、お住まいの地域に応じて、1日あたり60ドルから80ドルの料金がかかります。 無料で案内してくれる地元の人々を見つけることができます。 彼らに少額のお金または贈り物をあげることも出来ます。
ミャンマーではチップは慣習的ではありませんが、ホテルのスタッフやガイドにはチップを渡すことをお勧め致します。 ミャンマーでは市場や僧院などを案内してくれる地元の人々に「お茶のお金」として少しのお金を渡す習慣があります。 通常、K500~K1000程度で十分です。
個人セキュリティ
ミャンマー国内で、外国人が訪れる事ができる地域は非常に安全です。外国人に対する犯罪は少なく。特にヤンゴンでは、安心して生活をおくる事ができます。
時にはブローカーや物売りが近づいてくる時がありますので、ご注意下さい。近づいて来る方の中には、単に外国人と英語で話したいだけの方もいます。
