Yes, no problem getting taxi from inside airport at Yangon even at 5 a.m. The man at the taxi desk ( next to the currency exchange) became the driver! Not expensive, but yes allow 40/45 mins but at that time in the morning the drive only took 20 mins; same as any capital cityt in the world- rush hour is hectic! Two things 1. Remember to change your curreny( us $ is best) into kyat at the airport. That is normally madness in terms of poor rates of exchange but you won't get better anywhere else and there are NO ATMS suitable for western debit cards anywhere!! So change what you need for your stay . 2. My driver knew where Hotel 51 was so I thought no more about the address, but after one or two outings by other taxis, I realised you need to know into only the street number ( obviously) but whether it's on upper, middle or lower 51 as the streets are part of a one way system and you can't just drive straight through. Hotel 51 is on upper 51 st. And I hope, like me, you will be very pleased you chose it!
