Thailand/Myanmar/India Mid April '19
Seeking fellow travelers to share guide cost across Myanmar. Current plan is to enter Myanmar about mid April. Will this fit anyone's plan?
At this point I could adjust my time some but going earlier we might catch the tail of the rainy season.

Join in a van
Hi there,

I am making the same transit at a similar time. However, I will be driving a van. Nevertheless, we could still potentially share the guide costs....

Which entry and exit points were you thinking of using? Or just taking the highway straight across?

Thanks
D

At this point I have no set plans as to which entry/exit. As to how fast we cross would have to be a group decision. At his time there is one other interested in crossing. Looks like it may be moved up to sometime in March. I will send you a PM with my email so we can share what we find out.

Really Good Guide for Myanmar
Hi Road Hog, I see you are planning to cross Myanmar, May I tell you that at Plodd Stop we have had many people staying with us and they tell me that the guide that is here on messenger called Javier is a really good guide and is very helpful. There are some guide company that sound better than they really are, so be careful which you chose. I am just telling you what I have been told by many overlanders that have been through Myanmar. I have never meet him so I have no interest financial or otherwise, I hope this helps you decide on the company you use.

Thanks for the reference all information is welcome and helpful.

I will be contacting you later about what paperwork I need to do to enter Thailand without a guide. Will make sure I stop and thank you in person on the way to Myanmar.

I could possibly be interested. My preference would be Zawmin Tun at Myanmar Senses but cost is the real driver as I am 2 up. I'm also very flexible on dates as I live in the region.

What is your intended duration in Burma?

Crossing Myanmar
Hi
We are looking to cross Myanmar from Thailand to India, ideally mid February, and are in contact with an agent and looking for others to join with. We are in a Toyota Landcruiser. We could go a bit later if that suited others. Please contact me on here or by personal message if you are interested.
Thanks

Hope you are having a good trip. Things here get more complicated every day. Dates on court cases I am involved with keep changing. When I finally get free I think I will just head out and see what I can find on crossing.
