How to get in Chaung Tha
Buses leave Yangon around dawn, and despite the short distance take 5-6 hours to reach Chaung Tha. The buses make 2 to 3 scheduled stops along the way at roadside cafes. The journey costs around 8000 kyats. Return buses leave Chaungtha at the same ungodly hour, and sometimes a little earlier. The roads are very basic and deteriorate the further from Yangon. There is a contant upgrade of roads taking place as you get closer to the coast, but the going can still be slow.
Travelers departing from Yangon should set aside an extra hour for travel between the city centre and the outskirts bus station. Expect to pay 1500 kyats from the centre to the bus station.
You can negotiate with any Yangon taxi driver to take you by taxi (some have air-conditioning) so if youre travelling in a group of 3 or 4 and you split the cost it can be worthwhile. But remember the taxi will be returning empty, so you have to consider this when agreeing the price. If your trip is for just a few days, it may be better to negotiate with the driver to stay in town (he'll probably sleep in his taxi) and then he'll be able to bring you back also.
