International Transfers

ATM's are growing in number in Myanmar and can handle foreign cards as of a year and a half ago (visa, mastercard).
Still going to be a while before the local banks come online with their international counterparts in terms of ease of transfers overseas etc.
I'd suggest you ask your employer if it is possible to split your salary - have a portion available to draw as local funds in Myanmar, and have the rest banked in the UK or Thailand.  For the local funds, open a local account with a local debit card so you can pay for shopping and draw cash in kyats from ATM's as required.

I find the banking system in Thailand very good, and it is the usual port of call when leaving Myanmar so having funds there for shopping/travel/hotels etc makes sense.  Depends on your own needs of course

Thanks a lot Archie I appreciate that, Thai banks are ok, but if you move house you can't change address you need to make a new account!!
Seems things are slowly catching on there in Myanmar, I hope this job comes off.
