Why do people move to Yangon?

Answer this Question

When we asked people why foreigners move to Yangon, they responded...

"Expats are attracted to move to Yangon, due to its rich cultural heritage, stunning pagodas, and historical landmarks. The city offers a unique blend of traditional and modern lifestyles, with bustling markets, street food vendors, and a growing arts scene. The low cost of living, affordable housing, and relatively low crime rate also make Yangon an attractive destination for expats. Additionally, the warm and welcoming nature of the local people, coupled with the opportunity to learn and immerse oneself in a new culture, adds to the appeal of living in Yangon. The city's growing economy and job opportunities in various sectors, such as education, tourism, and non-governmental organizations, also draw expats to the area. Finally, the natural beauty of Myanmar, with its pristine beaches, lush landscapes, and ancient temples, provides ample opportunities for exploration and adventure, making Yangon an attractive destination for those seeking a unique and fulfilling expat experience," remarked another expat in Yangon, Myanmar.
