25 July, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

We purchased our bus tickets for Bagan to Bago directly from the bus station in Nyaung U.\u00a0 We went with Mandalar Minn, since we had a very good experience with them from Yangon to Mandalay.\u00a0 The cost was 15,000 Kyat\/person.\u00a0 If you are going to Yangon or Bago the price is the same.\u00a0 When we inquired aboutgoing to Bago from Bagan, the ladies at the desk insisted that it wasn’t possible since the bus now takes the new highway which completely bypasses Bago.\u00a0 However, you can still get to Bago by telling the driver ahead of time that you want to get off at junction #3.\u00a0 Or just let them know that you are going to Bago and they will know where to let you off.\u00a0\u00a0 We got a confirmation from a different employee that you can get off and take a taxi to Bago,but our experience was more exciting than that.<\/p>\n

The Mandalar Minn Bus picked us up in front of our guest house, May Kha Lar at 7:15 AM . You make arrangements with the ticket office by telling them where you are staying and if you are near the main road, I believe they will pick you up, which will save you a ride to the bus station.<\/p>\n

This bus was also nice, but a little worn compared to the first.\u00a0 Also, unlike the ride from Yangon to Mandalay this bus stopped frequently for the first couple of hours picking up passengers along the way.\u00a0 Some even in the middle of nowhere with nothing but rice paddies!\u00a0 This was probably because our bus was mostly empty when we left Nyaung U.\u00a0 But within a couple of hours the bus was full with mostly locals.<\/p>\n

We stopped for our first break at 10:30 AM and we decided to have an early lunch since we didn’t have breakfast and that our last bus also stopped at 10:30 AM for lunch.\u00a0 This rest stop was the nicest yet.\u00a0 The restaurant Feel Express had a selection of coffees, cappuccinos and frappaccinos!\u00a0 They also had a buffet style lunch setup.\u00a0 Of course we couldn’t resist and ended up spending 7,400 Kyat, which is a lot for lunch!\u00a0 Heidi also got a Thai iced tea with whip cream that was surprisingly good!\u00a0 Overall the food was good too, just on the expensive side.<\/p>\n

The bathrooms were also very clean and they even had paper towels to dry your hands!\u00a0 This was a first and a big surprise bonus!\u00a0 Ah \u2026 the little things that mean so much!!<\/p>\n

A few hours later, at 2:30 PM we stopped again\u00a0 for second lunch (or break) for 30 minutes.\u00a0 This was at the 115 mile Yangon\/Mandalay Highway rest stop, which happened to be the same place we stopped for lunch on our trip to Mandalay from Yangon!\u00a0 We also pulled into the same restaurant, the Pioneer.\u00a0 Now I am\u00a0 100 percent convinced that there is an affiliation between the restaurant and Mandalay Minn (the bus).\u00a0 The water served on the bus is also called Pioneer and as mentioned before, there is a large Pioneer logo on the bus.\u00a0 However, this doesn’t mean you need to eat here, but remember, you only have 30 minutes, so if you want to try one of the other places you better get off the bus quickly and head to a different restaurant.<\/p>\n

One bonus of the Pioneer rest stops is that they have free wifi with a decent connection.\u00a0 There wasn’t time for me to check out any of the other restaurants so I can’t comment on them.\u00a0 I was able to check my email and Google maps to see where we were.\u00a0 We knew that the Bago junction was coming up soon but didn’t know how far.\u00a0 Even with Google maps we could only make a guess, but it was still useful.<\/p>\n

After the break I reminded one of the bus employees that we were going to Bago before boarding the bus.\u00a0 He nodded his head, but I wasn’t sure he understood.\u00a0 Two hours later we were getting concerned because we thought we might be getting very close to Yangon.\u00a0 It turns out our estimate was wrong.\u00a0 Bago is actually very close to Yangon and the reason why it takes two hours to get to Bago from Yangon is because from the junction it is still another hour.\u00a0 We were told from the bus ticket office that Bago was 20 to 30 minutes from the junction.<\/p>\n

Not surprised, we arrived at the junction to pouring rain.\u00a0 It is monsoon season, but we had only experienced heavy rain when we were in the southern part of the country.\u00a0 We were told that there would be taxis waiting at the junction to take us to Bago, but that was not the case.\u00a0 Luckily, we happened to get there when a covered pickup truck (a pickup truck with a tarp like canopy on top), one of the local forms of transportation, was waiting for passengers!\u00a0 The bus employees and one of the pickup employees quickly helped us with our bags.\u00a0 The scrawny but strong pickup employee whisked our heavy backpack up to the top of the pickup in the pouring rain as if it only weighed a couple of pounds.\u00a0 Then he grabbed by camera backpack and did the same.\u00a0 These are both very heavy bags and it was pouring rain.\u00a0 But I asked him to get me my backpack since it had all of my camera gear and I didn’t want that to get soaked!\u00a0 Fortunately, he understood enough English.<\/p>\n

The pickup was completely packed with people.\u00a0 Inside there were two wooden benches on either side and there were small stools in the middle.\u00a0 All places were taken, but without hesitation some guy quickly moved to make room for Heidi and he was\u00a0 now standing on the open door part of the pick up in the pouring rain with me, and the employee.\u00a0 Then another quy got out and they insisted that I sit down under the cover of the truck.\u00a0 I felt very bad but also very special as these complete strangers offered us their seats and stood in the deluge with the employee on the back edge of the pickup bus as we drove off.\u00a0 I offered my hat to one of the guys, as he was completely drenched, but he politely declined even though I insisted.\u00a0 All three men stood in the rain and wind with calm faces as they held on to the back of the truck by a metal bar, something that didn’t seem to faze them at all.<\/p>\n

Packed like wet sardines, we zoomed off towards town.\u00a0 The truck stopped frequently as some passengers got off and others got on.\u00a0 We got a lot of friendly looks from the locals who were clearly wondering what a couple of foreigners were doing on their local bus!\u00a0 As more got off we moved towards the back but we also had no idea if we were heading in the right direction or if we had already missed Bago.\u00a0 Finally, we decided to crawl out the back at one of the stops but the employee quickly told us “No!” and waved for us to get back in the semi dry truck bench.\u00a0 We assumed that our bus, Mandalar Minn, had told him where we were going and trusted him from there.\u00a0 We were only concerned because we thought Bago was only 20 – 30 minutes from the main highway junction. About 45 minutes into the ride the pickup was empty except for me, Heidi, and the bus employee.\u00a0 He pulled our bags from the top and set them inside, out of the pouring rain.\u00a0 Then the employee finally sat inside with us and asked us where we were staying.\u00a0\u00a0 As it turned out, it took an hour from the junction to being dropped off right in front of the Empire Hotel.\u00a0\u00a0 All that hard work that cost us only 3,000 Kyat total.<\/p>\n

Bus from Bagan to Bago (Yangon) Tips:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0You can still go to Bago by bus, but if you are coming from Bagan or Mandalay, you will need to get off at a junction to get there.\u00a0 Be prepared to take a local pickup transport!<\/li>\n
  2. It takes at least an hour from the Yangon\/Mandalay Highway junction to Bago.<\/li>\n
  3. Bring a cover for your bag if traveling in rainy season as there is a good chance the transport will be full and you will be required to place your large bags on top of the vehicle exposed to the elements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
