– With the exchange rate situation being so volatile, he helped us find an open money changer to change at a reasonable rate.
– Our original ask was for him to take us to Mandalay Hill and Dee Dote, but he also dropped us at Unique Mandalay Tea House (great, nice and clean place) and walked up with us to the Dee Dote waterfall -which was great because it was a bit of a way up.
Kaung Zaw’s command of English is great and any English speaking tourist will easily be able to understand him. He can also be contacted at night; we engaged his services the night before we wanted to take a drive out. He drives well and is careful to avoid/go slowly over potholes or bumps.
Due to Covid, he has had to sell his car and now drives a tuk tuk. I hope he will be able to get his car back one day. Thank you Kaung Zaw for the eventful day out!
