Ride though Myanmar from Thai to India in July
 

Hi all,
Im currently in Malaysia heading to Europe. I'd like to ride through Myanmar instead of flying from Bangkok to Kathmandu. I'll spend the next six weeks riding around Thailand, Cambodia and Laos and hopefully through Myanmar mid July. Would anyone else be interested??
I haven't contacted any agencies yet as I'd rather get a group together first but I've got a couple of contacts.
It takes about a month for the agency to organize all the permits etc. Visas for Myanmar and India can be obtained in Bangkok.
If anyone's interested or knows of a group already going from east to west then please email me: fishernz@gmail.com

Thanks
Mark

We could travel together
 

Hi,

I just filed a request today at the embassy for a permit that would allow me to travel through Myanmar with my car. They said it could take a week or 4 to process. I'm in Laos, so if I get the permit I would be at the Mae Sot crossing around the end of june/beginning of july.

Let me know if that sounds good for you.

Hey.
Yeah that could work. It would be awesome (and cheaper!) to not use a tour guide. But what about getting out? I could be wrong but there's no open border for foreigners. People seem to be crossing India/Myanmar at Moreh but special permission needs to be obtained beforehand. Or is that all part of permit you've applied for? Did you apply in Thailand or Laos?
I hope you get it
Cheers
Mark
