"Sightseeing on foot? Think twice" Mandalay Warnings Or Dangers Tip by hydronetta

Once you see Mandalay in your guide book, you think that it is a very easy place to navigate and probably sightsee on foot. But once you get there you soon realise that it is impossible to do so. Distances between blocks are long, even the Royal Palace's surrounding walls look very far from one end to the other. Besides there are not any pavements and you find yourself walking next to thousands of trishaws, cars and motorbikes. Besides during midday it can become hot, not to mention the air pollution's smog.
So go for a trishaw or car to move around. The best option is to hire one for the day.
