Getting the sim card could be a hit and miss due to language and long waiting time as there are allot of people lining up to get one at the airport.

Alternatively,I guess you could order the sim cards online and have the card delivered to you before before you reach Myanmar

Bought a MNP sim card at the airport for about $1.50US, and a $5 dollar loading card. Had 4G coverage pretty much everywhere I went (Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, Pindaya, Inle Lake (Yes, even on the lake itself). Worked perfectly. Didn’t need a copy of my passport.

@xavier You’ll probably want MPT. I doubt either of the other companies will have much of any coverage down there.

Yikes! Thanks for the catch.

I must have gotten another screenshot mixed up at time of posting. I removed the one I took when I arrived in Chiang Mai.

I’ll be back in mid Nov as well. We’ll see what has changed by then… (hopefully speed & reliability!)
