If you’re looking for a truly raw and deep cultural experience on the road less traveled, then our Teach English in Myanmar program is for you.
We thought it might be a good idea to compile a blog post with the types of accommodation teachers can expect to find in Myanmar. We’re going to be focusing on Yangon and Mandalay since that’s most likely where you’d be placed when teaching English in Myanmar.
Accommodation in Yangon
The information and pictures shown below were given to us by one of our participants, Jordan who was placed in Yangon, Myanmar and taught English at NELC Xplore.

This is what your typical apartment block looks like in Yangon, it definitely looks a lot better inside.

This is what your typical bathroom/laundry room will look like in this apartment block.

This is a pretty basic room with a spring bed, not the luxuries we’re used to in the west but it does the job.

Not everyone is gonna find accommodation like this is Myanmar, but it is possible.

This is the one room in the house, pretty similar to what you would get in many western cities.
Teach abroad destination Idea: Myanmar!
Despite the slow political change, the country is fast becoming one of the go-to places in Southeast Asia. Described by many as the hipster Thailand, it’s creeping into a lot of people’s bucket list. No degree is required to teach English in Myanmar and earning potentials are high. Teachers typically earn $700 – $1200 USD per month and with extremely low living costs, it’s the perfect location to fully immerse yourself into a new culture. Check out our video below on what life is a like teaching English in Myanmar:

Accommodation in Mandalay
The apartment featured below was given to us by one of our partners, Daniel, who works at a local school office.

A rather spacious living room with all the amenities that a lot of living rooms in the west have.

A western style bathroom, with a western toilet and a separate shower. This is often not the case in Myanmar as the flats are still quite old and have the old infrastructure.
