Hi there,

Just crossed with the company "Myanmar senses" and they were the cheapest and extremely helpful and professional. Couldn't recommend them more. I would get a quote from them as well:

Oh Man, I just caught on about the Govt's requirements for overland bikers to use 'baby sitter' guides to get through Myanmar
.., what a bummer, as planning a solo mission through SE Asia, then onto Myanmar then India.

I know rules are rules - so I am guessing it's not possible to ride through Myanmar without guides then ?

.., what about bypassing them at smaller boarders can you still get in, or even just having them hold your hand across the boarder then continuing on without them has anyone tried this, is it possible or not ?

Hi Davo,
Today I heard that motorcyclist can only exit through the boarder they entered, I'm trying to find out if this is enforced, really puts a spanner in my plans!!

Ok just found out that currently that is not the case, (see previous post)
some so called professional travel advisers i'm sure just make stuff up!!
but you do need a guide, so far Burmese Sense (asiasense etc) seem the best option

Here is a link to a Facebook page where currently many riders are having hassles with the Thai Side.
Many riders at present are experiencing situations on both sides of the boarder in real time and adding updates as they unfold .

The border at moreh looked like it might be trouble without a guide. Very chummy. I also heard from a couple of cyclists that weren't able to find a way to get across. They might not have been trying too hard though. Some signs at the Myanmar border just said you needed permission from the tourism department. Customs might have some questions though.
Cheers,
Jason

I haven't checked this thread for a long time. Have emailed *damile* above.

An update. I'm flying with my bike into Yangon, Myanmar about October 14. I'm using Burma Senses to do a short ride (12 days) to enter India at Moreh.

(Flew out of Bangkok after 2 1/2 years on the road 18 months ago, so returning to my ride)

If anyone's in the area then that wants to meet up please drop me a line at jmgg1956(at)gmail.com.
