By plane
Due to economic sanctions from most western countries, international flights into Myanmar are limited. The usual way to get into Myanmar would be to fly into Yangon from either Bangkok or Singapore, both which have good connections from around the world and have several flights into Yangon daily. The only other international point of entry to Myanmar is Mandalay, which is served by a weekly flight to/from Kunming.
• Myanmar Airways International flies from Yangon to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Siem Reap, Phnom-Penh, Guangzhou and Singapore.
• Bangkok Airways has one daily flight from Bangkok to Yangon and one daily return flight, costing from 3500 baht.
