Central Post Office
info This building was constructed in 1908 as the headquarters of one of colonial Burma's major rice traders, Bulloch Brothers & Co., a Scottish firm headquartered in Glasgow.
The British administration moved the central Post Office into this building in the 1930s. Long before he took over the country in 1962, General Ne Win worked in this post office and legend has it that he sneakily checked mail and telegrams, and kept the nationalist movement informed of government plans and police actions. Notice the Beaux Arts portico and also take a look inside - this is one of the very few government building visitors can enter freely.
