Shopping

Typical Myanmar products include exquisite silver items, lacquer ware, silk, wood carvings and embroidery.

The export of antiques and archaeological finds older than 75 years is forbidden, as is the export of Buddha statues. Bagan has a thriving production of lacquer ware. All other souvenirs and articles can be also found on the Scott Market (now officially called “Bogyoke Aung San Market”) in Yangon.
