Hi,

Preliminary, I am in contact with Myanmar expert travel & tours. Their quotation as follows:

Day 1 - Measot Thai - Myawaddy - Hpa An. 160km
Day 2 - Hpa An - Taungoo - 400km
Day 3 - Taungoo - Bagan - 540km
Day 4 - Bagan
Day 5 - Bagan- Monywa - 220km
Day 6 - Monywa - Kalay - 200km
Day 7 - Kalay - Tamu - Moreh (India) - 128 km

Tour cost USD 3200 - 1 bike
USD 4500 - 2 bike
USD 5000 - 3 bike
USD 5500 - 4 bike
Incl permission fee, escourt fee,guide fee, liasion officer fee, insurance and road tax.

Is there anyone who have gone thro the same way any comments or other recommended tour co. ?

Hello there,
Thought to give an update on my preparation to cross Myanmar. I have engaged the Burma Senses Travel & Tours company (email burmasenses ax gmail.com or infoburmasenses.com) for the 12 days travel across Myanmar. Start at Mae Sot, Thailand; End at Moreh, India. The pack includes; all permits, toll gate fees, hotel & b/fast, pilot car and guide. Not included; visa, personal expenses, zone fees. As I was informed, there are 6 people in the group. It cost me $1215.
We will start on 16 September 2015.
Anyone out there who want to join please get in touch with the above email address. The contact person is Min Min. The company hotline tel number is +84 977 343 986 and Min Min tel number +84 979 258 815.
Hope that help.

Amzah

Hi!,
Too bad our timing just does not match. Very unfortunate I had other arrangement locked on 16 Sep. Any way, hope you have a safe and an enjoyable trip. Also, you know that I am right behind your track, if anything please give a shout.
Safe ride.
