Bogyoke Aung San Market

Historical old market in downtown Yangon. There are several lanes and many different shops: antiques, silk, jewelry, souvenirs and others. It's rather oriented to foreigners than to local people, although if local people buy here, they would pay the local price. It's never revealed to a foreigner. The prices of the items are never on display. If you want to buy something is mandatory to bargain. Everything is overpriced. Be in mind that we foreigners are charged double as average everywhere (even for street food). In this market, the overprice could rach thrice or four times the fair price.

Traditional market but it was not a happy feeling after I got back in the hotel checking my purchases. After converting what I’ve paid for 5 items I bought, surely I paid 3X for what it should be. I just wish people or sellers are honest and will not do their dirty tricks to earn more. This type of experience shoo tourist away to buy. Sad, because I’m sure not all sellers are bad and must have decent sellers out there. Negative experience from visiting this market for me but in a positive note, I hope what I paid extra, helped them in a way. Overall, it is a place to buy souvenirs. Good for photo ops, with its natural local charm. #iamkbonita #labonitaviajera #myanmar

Extremely authentic place to visit if you are into arts. Looks like a big art gallery, a mix of modernity and past. Lots of things can be purchased there from jewellery to paintings. There are also dining experiences available. Lots of public restrooms. Overall, interesting calm walk-through the whole market.

If you are looking for precious gems, jewelry, clothes, crafts made of stone or wood, this market is your place. There are also money exchange offices with good rates. There are also places to eat or have a refreshing orange or avocado juice.

It's a bit of a sad an empty place built for tourists but without tourists. It has potential to be very interesting. There is a lot of jade and jewelry, and some antique items. It was hard to find good lacquerware and it's better to go to a specialized antique shops for this. At the food court they were very pushy and not a good feeling, so we did not stay.

This is the best place to buy gifts or souvenirs. They offer anything from traditional garments, shirts and polos (I bought a few and they’re of good quality!), jewelry, paintings, and other trinkets. Definitely a must go place for tourists wanting to see handmade local crafts and souvenirs!

I really enjoyed my visit to Bogyoke Aung San Market! It’s a great place to walk around and explore, with so many interesting shops selling jewelry, gemstones, handicrafts, and beautiful Burmese fabrics. There’s also a good mix of souvenirs and local products, so it’s perfect for picking up something unique. The market has a lively but relaxed atmosphere, and the vendors are friendly and not too pushy. If you enjoy bargaining, you can get some great deals! There are also food stalls where you can try some local snacks. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Yangon! I’d love to come back and explore more.

Bogyoke Aung San Market in Yangon is an exceptional market, even for someone who isn’t usually a fan of touristy markets. It’s well-organized, making it easy to browse, and the selection is impressive. You’ll find beautiful items at reasonable prices, from jewelry and textiles to souvenirs. It’s a pleasure to explore, with a clean and orderly setup that sets it apart from many other markets. Definitely worth a visit!
