Myanmar... Am I being Dumb?
Quick Question if I may... (Cus I'm stuck for an answer!)
My provisional RTW Route means travelling East from India/Bangladesh to Thailand/Laos/Vietnam... Now I've just read that I can't enter Myanmar from the West, only from the East, and If I can't enter China and navigate my way round I could well be stuck... Or have to get on a Boat round Myanmar... HELP :helpsmilie: Is this right? If not where can I enter Myanmar from the West? If I can't options? Thanx people :o) |
You can't ride through Myanmar at all - everyone just flies over it. Check the Shipping database - link on left - and the travellers stories, search the site on Myanmar, and you'll find lots of info on it.
have a great trip! |

Am considering returning to Oz from Uk next year overland and had Myanmar pencilled in. Other routes don't look so favourable (at first glance) and wanted to keep flying/shipping to a minimum. So will be interested to find out what you decide as an alternative. Good luck. Lenzzzzzzzzzz |

Fletch Yep the answer is no = no riding through Myanmar. There are no motorcycle friendly entry points on the Thai / Myanmar border. Only Simon & Suzi got thru from India a couple of years ago, but they had to wait 3 months in India for permits and then had to have their bike trucked part of the way as it was / is not permissible for westerners to ride / travel by land through non govt controlled areas in Myanmar. So the tip is to give up on the idea & fly your bike into Thailand. |
