Automatic teller machines are not available in Myanmar! Since October 2004 credit cards and traveller cheques are not anymore accepted in the country. Any other information you may read is outdated, although some of the better hotels accept credit cards again (sometimes against hefty surcharge!). You should definitely not rely on this! PLEASE BRING SUFFICIENT CASH WITH YOU, PREFERABLY US DOLLAR! Crispy, new currency with no markings and tears only! Worn out and stamped USD bank notes are often rejected.
