Bagan Post Office

Bagan PO is located at new Bagan area, on the Bagan-Chauk road.  It is grade 3 post office and its postal code is 05232.  The nearest attraction is Loka Nanda pagoda situated on the bank of Irrewaddy river.  Click the link for ocation on the map.

The building is one story building.  It is a bit dark inside the office.  There are two post boxes inside and outside of the compound.  Both looks nice and neat.



I have visited Bagan PO on 7th January 2015.  The counter staff help me a lot.  He is very helpful and energetic.  I have sent registered mail to Singapore.  The sending date actually is 7th Jan 2015, but he set the date of the postmark wrongly and the date you can see on the cover becomes 7th Jan 2005.  You can compare the date of the Yangon Foreign Post mark.

The registration mark is a bit different from other PO.  It is the combination of two rubber stamps.  Two boxed words, Bagan and Myanmar are on one rubber stamp and RL. is on the another.  When it is struck, the staff do it carefully to be aligned.

My overall experience of Bagan PO is excellent.

I revisited Bagan PO on 1 Feb 2017, my experience is satisfactory.  The PO created new post code cachet.
