Markets seem to breakdown into two selections- tourist junk and real commercial markets where the occasional tourist is ignored. Somehow this market combines both at one time. I made the mistake of staying in Yangon for too many days so I had time to walk through this market many times. Like other reviewers I too exchanged money and had a... More

The Boyoke (Scott) Market is exactly the same place as the Bogyoke Aung San Market and the two Trip Adviser entries should be merged. Bogyoke Aung San Market is actually the correct spelling as can be seen from my photo of the sign over the entrance to the market. However, as Scott Market is a commonly used alternative name for...

Huge market and you can spend hours and hours shopping. Bring plenty of cash as they dont accept credit cards. And if you decide to use USD, bring ONLY the crisps ones! Remember to practise your bargaining skills before going! More

We visited the market multiple times during our month long trip. Biggest tip... Remember to bargain! Things to do: EXCHANGE MONEY I used the money exchange "guys" near the back of the market to exchange USD into kyats. Make sure you have new bills otherwise they might not take them. The rates were better than at the hotels. BUY SOUVENIRS:... More

This market is open from 9am to 5pm so be prepared to spend a whole day there. They really close at 5pm sharp so make sure you are out of the building by then because the guards will come and close down the shutters. We almost got caught within the confines of the building but got out in time. It... More

The large building and its annexes house hundreds of shops and stalls selling handcrafts, textiles, antiques works of art, jewellery and an unmatched selection of gem stones from every part of Burma.
