Sri Ksetra has promoted its entrance fees from 4 USD to 10 USD

Pyu (also Pyuu or Pyus) arrived in Myanmar in the 1st century BCE and established city-kingdoms. One of them was Sri Ksetra, which archaeological evidence indicates was the largest city that has ever been built in Burma, 9 KM south east of Pyay also know as Prome to the British. The archaeological department; museum of the Mhaw Zar Museum is will from now on charge 5 USD per entry and another 5 $ will go for visit around the compus, ancient area dominating the prototype stupa Bawbawgyi, Phayama and royal tombs.

Start to pay 2$ for entrance to Sule Pagoda - a mile stone of the city Yangon

The commercial capital and former capital of Myanmar, Yangon has been enjoying the new changes. The Sule Pagoda dating back over 2000 years, presenting landmark and mile stone of Yangon has been a public place for both to her people and the international visitors.
From the 1st October 2007, it's no more free entry for visitors save Myanmar nationals. It will be 2 US$ per person/entry.

3 US$ will be collected as an entrance fees at the famous Strand Hotel in Yangon.

Pointing out that the ever increasing number of visitors to Myanmar [A wonderful trend] makes it impossible for the Strand Hotel to allow access to the Strand for visitors who have not pre-arranged to visit and will also be guests at either our Bar, Strand Hall, Restaurants or make purchases at our boutique/gallery or shops.

The constant and ongoing flow of museum type of visitors make it a huge challenge for our paying customers to enjoy the Strand which is not a museum but a hotel.

In order to control this, the Strand will collect 3US$ per visitor to its property and this will effect immediately.

One stone hits all...*(Myanmar fuel price hike)

On the last week, Wednesday of 15th August there was a slightly a big jump in Myanmar fuel shops, run solely by the State. Obviously this is a big concern for the tourism as well as the daily lives in Myanmar making the ends meet. Guess this will definitely impact the tour prices on packages save all the hotels and domestic flights committed and they are to be believed not fluctuate the pricing respecting all contracts given year ahead.
