You can buy a variety of antiques or handcrafted goods, such as lacquerware, paintings, woodwork, and more. You’ll find clothing here too, from t-shirts to beautiful traditional longyis like the ones you’ll see the locals wearing all around you. There’s also a thriving market for jewelry and Burma’s famous precious stones, like jade. You might have to haggle for your purchase, but that’s part of the fun, and often the prices aren’t bad even if you don’t. Even if you don’t want to buy anything, Bogyoke Aung San Market is the ideal place to watch Yangon locals go about their daily business. Go to the market before noon for better prices and cooler temperatures to walk in, and then be sure to take your time wandering through one of the most popular destinations in Yangon.
