What is the price range to rent a motorbike in Myanmar for a day?
I've been reading several blogs, guide books and magazines and I'm a bit confused about what is the right price range to pay for rent a motorbike (scooter) one day (24 hours). For instance, in Vietnam I've been paying around $6.
Best Answer
I rented a scooter for 24 hours in March 2016, we paid 8000 Kyat (about 6.20 Euro / 7 USD) . This was for an automatic scooter (new model) at a proper place with paperwork and everything.
Manual scooters are cheaper but I don't remember exact prices.
Also this was in a town in the deep south, not many tourists there. In Bagan and Inle lake prices may be higher. It seems in touristy places they charge higher prices because there is more demand.
