I am a similar type traveler to you- not much on over organized stuff.<br />Thanks for this great report. I am going to Burma in mid Oct for 3 weeks. One question I have is I am flying into BKK (from San Diego) but the Air Asia to Mandalay goes from the other airport-is there a shuttle there do you know or should I just count on a taxi over?<br />Meanwhile I will enjoy reading your other reports...Reenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04636389935512815312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35680680.post-57812849338705381602013-04-08T15:45:05.104+10:002013-04-08T15:45:05.104+10:00PS I also used a boat driver/guide for the tour on...PS I also used a boat driver/guide for the tour on Lake Inle.

In Mandalay I used a driver (see the blog post on that) to see the 3 cities. Apart from that I wandered myself, after spending a lot of time browsing reports and history on the web. I also read "Finding George Orwell in Burma". <br /><br />I used an agent (Bravo) to purchase my flights which were Yangon to Mandalay and Heho to Yangon, both on Air Bagan. By chance I was on the F100 that crashed a month later. I must write my final report on Myannmar which includes that. In my own case both flights were uneventful.<br /><br />Cheers, AlanAlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868809225921579099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35680680.post-69804261033584486182013-04-08T12:48:19.081+10:002013-04-08T12:48:19.081+10:00Hi Alan,

The British actually built a road called "The Burma Road" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burma_Road connecting India, Burma and China. It is almost impossible to traverse this road now. And entry to Mynamar by road from India is problematic too. Hopefully, some day :)Samnoreply@blogger.com
