Yangon is the busiest and most populous city in Myanmar. Yangon served as the capital of Myanmar until 2006, when the military government relocated the capital to the purpose-built city of Nay Pyi Taw in central Myanmar. With over 7 million people, Yangon is Myanmar's largest city and its most important commercial centre. Yangon boasts of all modern amenities, malls, hotels, cafes and an international/domestic airport. Yangon has reasonably reliable health infrastructure, though most expats prefer to travel to Bangkok (1 hr by flight) for anything serious.

The housing market in Yangon for expats is relatively expensive, but a wide range of options is available.
