- After some beautiful days in Hpa-An we decided to try to hitchhike 280 kilometres to Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar. With a hitchhiking letter in Burmese and a sign saying where we were headed we stuck our thumbs out. It didn't take long before we got our first ride, but trying to get our second ride wasn't as smooth and we found ourselves lost in translation, not one, but several times. Fortnunately our luck turned and you'll find out how half way through this video.

Hitchhiking in Myanmar was something special and even though some people who stopped didn't grasp what we were doing, it was still an amazing experience and we got to Yangon much quicker than we had anticipated thanks to that free bus ride. If you haven't clicked the like button yet, please do as it helps us a lot and don't forget to leave us a little comment. Much love to all of you!💛🙏
That's how myanmar people are generous.Thus Myanmar got Global giving rank 1.Hope u guys comeback again.Love from Myanmar 🇲🇲💕
Hi and thanks for your lovely comment. Myanmar people are very nice and so are people in other countries too. We experience this kind of hospitality in every country we hitchhike. ❤️😊
Mingalabar Alex and Molly! 🙏 As a person from Myanmar, I loved watching your journey and seeing my country through your eyes. It's wonderful to see you exploring and enjoying the beauty of our land. Your adventure from hitchhiking to Yangon was really inspiring and brought back memories of familiar places and faces. Thank you for sharing your experiences and promoting the spirit of adventure. I hope you visit Myanmar again someday and continue to share your travels with us. Safe travels and best wishes! 🌏🚗
Last air con express bus name is yoe yoe lyy.. they are so kind and all of free drivers are so kind to everyone.thz for visited our Myanmar country 💗🙋♂️
Thanks for your lovely comment 😊❤️
It is good that you guys are introducing hitchhiking culture to Burma, for them who had long been in closed society is a new concept. I also saw a few other foreign tourists doing hitchhiking in Myanmar on UA-cam. But I think being raw people is also a drawcard!
Yeah we have seen some other videos of people doing it but you are right that it is a pretty new concept to the people of Myanmar. Everyone was very friendly though and happy to help of course! You are right about being raw, too often we see other channels presenting travelling as being a 100% amazing experience all the time. Of course there are days when you don't feel good or you might be in a bad mood, but when you hitchhike and you get to meet all of these wonderful people with big smiles it really puts you in a good place!
Thanks for watching and commenting! Have you been to Myanmar?
What a helpful man there! nice! we haven't tried hitchhiking yet, but it's a thing we really wanna try. And Myanmar looks like a good place to hitchhike, right? Useful info! Thanks for sharing!
Hitchhiking in Myanmar was good and bad. Some routes we decided to take the bus because the infrastructure isn't the best, but generally it's good. Thailand is easier to hitchhike but a little letter in Thai helps to explain what you're doing. Thanks for watching! 🙏
You guys are so much braver that me, I have never hitchhiked anywhere! Also that humidity is crazy!
You and Dundee should hitchhike in Australia. Just a short trip. It's great! 👍🏼🙏
@@TimezoneJunkies ha ha that's a great idea - we should totally try that!! lol ;-)
So kind people out there.... I too experienced about too many kind and generous people of Burma other than communist Junta buggers ! GOD bless Burma ..
You guys tried so hard guys
Even I was a local but I had met so many difficult in the highway roads.🤨
U guys are really cool and patients🖤
Thanks for your lovely comment 😊
The people seem so friendly.... sucks to get stuck in rain but yall look rested and relaxed now :-) safe travels!
We had a great experience hitchhiking to Yangon and thanks to that free bus ride with air in we arrived content in Yangon. The rain was just another experience and actually quite nice after some very hot days in Hpa-An. Thanks for watching! 🙏😊
Thank you for have been visited at our Pha Ann Kayin state.
Thanks for watching. We really enjoyed travelling through Kayin state.
❤️🙋

Welcome to MYANMAR, I hope you have good time.
Thank you so much! We had a great time and would love to visit again! We will have videos coming up from a new country for us on Sunday so stay tuned!
Myanmar is our (India's) neighbour but it's pity that we know so little about lovely Burmese people, their culture and country. South Asia needs more integration, trade, open transport and communication.
Myanmar is a beautiful country. Loved it there 😊
Come and visit Myanmar especially Ngapali
We went there already. Watch the video 😊😊😊
Hpa-An is my home town oh ho. Welcome to see you again
It's a beautiful place! Thanks for watching! 😊🙏

Hi and thanks for watching and commenting. If you check out what else is on channel you'll see that we hitchhiked from Thailand to Spain so we went through many European countries as well as Asian and Central Asian countries. We're currently in Central Asia and won't be hitchhiking in Europe for a while. Good luck on your trip thumbing it from Amsterdam to Athens!
I Myanmar like welcome this is video likes thanks
Thanks for watching! 🙏😊
welcome to myanmar 🇲🇲🇲🇲
Thanks, we had a great time in your beautiful country! Have a great week!
I really impressed about your people...very helpful, kind, generous in most of the ways...while I stayed 28days in Mandalay and Yangon and other distant touristy places like Taungyii, Bagan, Kalaw, Shan state, Mt Popa, Mandalay Hill, Viaduct bridge, Mingun, etc., etc.,...Lovely country now ruining by Junta buggers..so sad..
Thank so much
I wish to see you in Myanmar than i will get you everywhere you want
Thanks 🙏
Man, it sure looks hot there!, I am sure you had a good time. Safe travels***
It was certainly hot in Hpa-An but just getting to Yangon it got a bit better. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Thanks for visiting Myanmar...I think you guys are a problem with communication ..if.you have a chance to visit again I ll help you and take you wherever you want to go...
Thanks a lot for watching and taking time to comment, but please explain what you mean with communication problems?
We had no problem communicating in Myanmar, but there was obviously a language barrier at times as we don't speak Burmese and many people we met on the road didn't speak English and HITCHHIKING (going for free in people's cars) isn't an known concept in Myanmar. We like travelling like this. It makes it more challenging and we meet many locals.
😀
Nice
Thanks for watching!
ah ah .... Great.... bus would have cost you less than one hostel night... :-).... I admire your strength .... I made it by bike before get stuck due to corona circus :-)))))
We don’t hitchhike to save money 😊 especially not when we do it in developing countries.
Don’t know if you’ve seen that we are currently re-posting our big hitchhiking series. We hitchhiked from Thailand to Spain 3 years ago to prove that there is kindness in the world. If you haven’t you should check it out 😊
Wacem to myanmar wwwwwwwaaaaaaaacccceeeeeemmmmm
Thanks!!! We had a great time. 🙏
Welcome to myanmar county..!
Thank you! We loved Myanmar 😊🙏
welcome guys u are soo cute and love u guys I 'm live in Yangon 🙂💜 good luck for ur itinerary 💕
Thank you. We loved Myanmar. We were there for 1 month last year in November/December. 😀
Good job
Thanks for watching 😊
Well come Myanmar
Thank you! Beautiful country 😊🙏
Good
Thanks 🙏
It'll be a little hard to hitchhike in Myanmar because of the language and Myanmar peoples barely ( like never ) do that here I guess : D
Thanks for coming Myanmar
Generally we found it quite easy. The worst part was the dust and the heat 😊We’ve hitchhiked in many countries we’re we don’t speak the language and the people don’t speak English .
Thanks for watching 🙏
Why do you have only 2k sub ,
Where do you find money to travel , anyway,😁
We don't know why we only have 2000 subs. We really wish we had more. We saved money some years ago, and currently, Alex teaches on the internet. He doesn't earn much but it helps us not spend our money to fast. We're also very cheap when we travel, spend very little and if we're in a country where it's possible we camp and cook ourselves. Thanks so much for watching! 🙏💛
I love you.
Thanks 😊
မဂၤလာပါ ဗ်
😁💚💚👍👍
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed the videos! We have a new video up right now from Yangon that you should check out! Cheers!
Dear Friend!
We came here to know more about Burmese people.
That’s why we decided not to take the bus and request to ride along with you.
(I can’t read the rest, and I’d take anyone for a hitchhike as long as they are not shady)
Hi there. Thanks for watching our video.
It was fun to hitchhike in Myanmar 😊
Great to see you both on the road once again.It sure isn't funny when the driver tells you he'll take you.....and then he drives off! If you say the magic word ''$$$$'... all doors fly open. I think I saw the Budgeteers make the same trip.Again the drivers wanted cash if I remember.In Cambodia they drive over you...ha ha!
Hehe, quite sure that guy didn't understand that we wanted to go to Tathon with him and this time we actually don't think it was about money. The budgeteers took a bus to Yangon from Hpa-An and hitchhiked from Yangon to Mandalay on the new super highway, so not the same route. The road between Hpa-An and Yangon is mainly a small road half of the way, going between many towns, before it gets a bit bigger before Yangon. Amazing experience although filled with confusion. :) Thanks a million for watching as always!
Not all Karen people can read burmesse leguange in that letter but still help in pa ah. Mostly sgaw Karen can't speak burmesse leguange, but in pa ah most of Poe Karen live there and many of them can speak burmesse leguange, if u was in kawkrei, most of the Karen people there can't read burmesse leguange, don't miss understand my friend , just for ur travel safely
Don’t worry we know a lot about Karen people. We have worked with these people in Thailand who are refugees there . Thanks for watching 😊
They are karen people
I LOVE FUNNY yes we know they are Karen. Thanks for watching!
I can help you everything bro. So Myanmar is not speak eng im so sorry
Thanks! We met many people who could speak English and even if they couldn't they still helped us a lot. We had a great time there. Thanks for watching! 🙏
I am also Myanmar and
Nice! Thanks for watching!
Aren't you guys ashamed? You go to a poor country where transportation is cheap, and instead of contributing to the local economy as much as possible, you leach off the locals. Typical BEGPACKERS! I can understand hitchhiking in a super expensive country, but in Myanmar? Come on guys. Have some conscience!
Hitchhiking is not about travelling for free but to share your journey with locals and spread love and kindness. It’s actually easier and more comfortable to get a bus but the experiences you gain hitchhiking you can’t get by going on a bus.
We contribute to the local economy more than most tourists as we don’t go on organised tours but spend our money in small local shops, restaurants and local guest houses instead. We make sure our money goes to the ordinary people, not big tour operators, big hotel chains or just simply down the government’s pocket.
Thanks for watching and we do see why you might think we are doing something unethical as you simply just don’t understand the concept of hitchhiking and you probably haven’t watched enough of our videos to know who we are and what we do to contribute to the world.
They are karen ppl
Yes they are 😊
