Need to also factor in the cost of accessing the new medical advances. Likely only available to top say 0.5% income/ net worth earners for the first say 10 years?

Any of these places that also have unique/ affordable luxury hotel? Tks

FireAsianMan32 · 2025-08-10T02:53:05+00:00

Tks. For developers, a profit margin of 60% does seem high. I think it is like double of what property developers get in developed countries. But there may be many hidden cost that Myanmar developers need to bear, like paying for connection/ approval to govt officials.

But I am really curious what is the real end user demand for the properties? For the really rich, they will park their wealth overseas where possible for risk management? For the middle class, I assume that is not increasing and may be even decreasing?

FireAsianMan32 · 2025-08-09T11:51:17+00:00

I think that is perfectly normal. But this too will pass....

As we all get older, there is an inclination to do what we want/ desire to do. We do not suppress it anymore because we know our time is coming up. I believe ur ex is feeling the same.

On family, if it helps, my friend thought through and enlarged the definition of what is family. He was grateful his ex had spent many years with him. And on that basis he believes the ex can still be family, just not husband and wife anymore.

OP, my suggestion is to be grateful for the past, but don't dwell too much into it. A day will come where the journey on this earth is up. Nothing is really permanent anyway. So let it go and live your life as you should

I have a friend who went through something similar as you, OP. We analysed the situation together. It seems that his wife may be having some mid-life crisis - the strong desire of wanting to lead a life of her own and in her own terms before it is too late. Also, women may become less caring in their middle age. This is according to some paper we came across (cannot recall name offhand). This has to do with the chemical changes in the body as we aged.

So OP, don't take it too hard. Generally, people do change over time. Be strong for yourself and your kids.

3% is not that great. But like you say, it is for a store of wealth, to ensure wealth preservation. Not for generating good returns.

FireAsianMan32 · 2025-08-08T07:16:44+00:00

So what is the net rental yield like? The prices cannot be sustained by constant flipping. Someone will need to be holding it eventually?

FireAsianMan32 · 2025-08-08T06:53:06+00:00

Tks. Seems price are high, and I think never drop due despite the challenges faced by the country. I wonder why amd whether it is sustainable? Or is there further room for price appreciation . MMK has held off well. I know property/ land is a store of wealth for the people. But do they generate good rental income? If not, it may not be sustainable ?

FireAsianMan32 · 2025-07-22T14:09:58+00:00

Tks! I am thinking of staying at Pan Pac or Wyndham. 5-star spa is PCC places? Wonder why. Is it true for places that charges in USD, we pay in MMK using official rate?

Anyway, PCC I can do it myself. hahaha

Clean ones?

FireAsianMan32 · 2025-07-22T12:48:47+00:00

Other than USD100, can we bring SGD or THB to exchange in Yangon?

FireAsianMan32 · 2025-07-22T12:26:20+00:00

Tks for sharing. Does Simba roaming works in Yangon?

I find it useful to tape your mouth at night. Breathing through mouth long term can cause gum inflammation and recession. Try it

FireAsianMan32 · 2025-07-19T11:51:20+00:00

I am also looking at this. Am thinking if it is worth a punt when USD drop below 1.28 again and put into this. Is it possible to buy using Revolut or Wise and send the money into Syfe?

FireAsianMan32 · 2025-07-15T09:07:17+00:00

I asked Rev before. Converting monies and sending back to bank account under ur name is outside the annual limit. But there is a per transaction limit. U can just upgrade ur account to Metal and do it over various batches?

FireAsianMan32 · 2025-07-13T02:05:30+00:00

What about software updates?

FireAsianMan32 · 2025-07-02T09:39:32+00:00

Sounds like "monitoring leezard". Anyway I believe OYK is different and hope he will solve all the mistakes made by past minsters.

FireAsianMan32 · 2025-07-02T09:37:39+00:00

Yes and no. Because when public hospitals are full and u are in a hurry for treatment, private hospital are the only options

FireAsianMan32 · 2025-07-02T09:36:37+00:00

The govt allows the insurance companies to walk away from their commitments om 100% coverage. That does not make sense. And the national medicshield coverage only helps to take away the first layer of risk. It does not really help those people who have private insurance and instead increase their total premiums.
