“A compact neighborhood market near the border, known for daily essentials, groceries, and products imported from Thailand.”
Bayintnaung Market in Myawaddy is a modest local market located near the Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge in Myawaddy Township. Despite sharing its name with the famous wholesale hub in Yangon, this version serves a different purpose entirely — it caters primarily to local residents and travelers crossing the border from Mae Sot, Thailand.
The market features stalls and small shops selling fresh produce, snacks, instant goods, beverages, clothing, and basic household items. Many goods come directly from Thailand, giving the place a unique cross-border flair.
While not large in scale, the market plays a vital role in supporting local daily life in Myawaddy. The convenience and variety make it a useful stop for those passing through or staying briefly in the area. It’s also common to find vendors who speak Thai or basic English, making the shopping experience relatively easy for foreign visitors.
How to Get There
From Mae Sot, Thailand, cross the Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge No. 1 into Myawaddy. After passing through immigration, the market is just a short drive away—approximately 1 km to the northeast. Local tuk-tuks or motorbike taxis are readily available.
Travel Tips
Visit in the morning or early afternoon for the best selection of fresh goods. Bring small denominations of Kyat or Thai Baht, which are often accepted by vendors. While small, the market is easy to explore in 20–30 minutes.
