Newbie on the Myanmar forum? Don't know how to start?
This thread is for you
We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more on your expat projects in Myanmar if you are planning to move there.
It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.
Hi My name is Roy. I'm English but I live in Nice in France. I plan to come to Myanmar for 6 months from around May as I am an author and researching a book. I'll be honest and say I have done virtually no planning for this, but I did visit the country last December. Any advice on rental properties etc would be appreciated. I plan to stay in Yangon. Many thanks
Nice to meet you. Actually I was born in Myanmar but I live in Singapore. I am sorry that I don't have any ideas of rental properties. However, you can check airbnb or hostels for your stay. I would say traffic is very bad in Yangon and it will be good which is near to your project area or downtown area.
I worked in Myanmar for Premier Oil back in 1998 to 2000.  Office was based in Bahan Township and living in Sakura Residence, Kamayut Township.
I met my wife there who comes from Kyontani in Ayerwaddy Division.
We would love to move back there, now we have 4 children.
My wife would like to teach English as she has perfected it here with me in England(!) and I would like to work as an Engineer on water treatment projects.
