What to do and see in Yangon (Rangoon), Yangon Region: The Best Classes & Workshops

February 15, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

Yangon (formerly known as Rangoon) is no longer the capital of Myanmar, but it has experienced a huge increase in tourism recently. Book early, as hotel rooms are sometimes hard to find! While you’re in town, the Shwedagon Pagoda, an immense, ancient Buddhist shrine, is a must-see—TripAdvisor travelers recommend visiting at sunrise or sunset.

Sa Ba Street Food Tours

Our Yangon walking food tours, trishaw tours & cooking classes are a fresh look at Yangon's traditional food for the culinary and culturally curious traveller. We love food & proud to share what Yangon has to offer. We started these food tours in early 2017 because too many visitors miss out on this mostly undiscovered side of Yangon life. Eating a huge variety of dishes at safe, handpicked vendors, passing through fascinating neighborhoods & side-streets, sharing, eating & chatting about life in Yangon. It's an honest introduction to the food but also our culture & past. All tours also include a street market so we can show what goes into your dishes & what some locals put into theirs. Aimed at those who use food to explore the places they visit & encounter the real people of the land. Our Yangon street food tours show you our favourite side of Yangon by eating good food and broadening your understanding of a unique food scene and unique city. By the way, "sa ba" means "eat please"!
