Getting Around Myanmar


Depending where we are and what we are doing, getting around is always an important consideration.

Motorcycles and scooters are prevalent in Myanmar - so we might jump on with a friend to head across town to lunch.

Within the city of Kalaymyo, tri-shaws are common and practical.  Basically it's motorcycle with a custom-built side car.  One passenger faces forward, the other faces backward.  Packages can be stored under the seat and the roof works to shield you from either sun or rain.    (For those of you concerned about safety - they don't go very fast, and their three wheels make them quite stable.) (For you grandparents who immediately notice the little guy photo-bombing us - he is the son of Anna & Khai Pi - our friends and ministry partners.)


You can hire a vehicle - our driver Mr. Dal safely navigated the windy mountain roads.


And when it's not too hot or too wet - we prefer to use the original mode of transportation and walk.


Wherever your travels take you today, and however you get around - know that we appreciate you!

Blessings ~ Pat
