About this activity

As far as we are concerned, Yangon's Markets are among the greatest attractions of the city, where hard working locals keep the city supplied with exotic produce and daily goods. The nature of these social hubs have a far more special place in the community than soul-less supermarkets or shopping malls and it's Sa Ba's Street Food Tour's pleasure to take you right into the heart of these fascinating theaters of Yangon market life.

We've chosen our must-see markets. Places full of energy and atmosphere where photo and learning opportunities are in abundance. Each market is different from the last so we can give you a truly all-round grass-roots experience while getting the chance to eat some delicious food, people-watch and immerse yourself in the real Yangon.
