Crossing Myanmar in March 2018
 

I plan on entering into Vietnam at the end of the year Dec 2017 and hopefully get to Myanmar end of Feb beginning of March. As I am sure many know the prices are a lot cheaper in larger groups. I was curious if anyone was looking to cross from Thailand Myanmar into India end of Feb beginning of March to help split the cost.
Thank you,
Dan

Hi. I will be doing the same, riding to India from Indonesia in January. Let's stay in touch. Cheers!

O awesome yes lets keep in touch. As of now it is two of us and I got a quote from one company (go-myanmar.com) so far at 2450 for two riders 9 days. Have you done any research on tour companies.
Dan

This is USD 2450 for 2 bikes over 9 days stay? Sometimes it's a group rate so say it's USD 3000 it can accommodate about 5-6 people. I have asked Burma sense. It's the most popular company and its almost the same...will keep in touch. I will be crossing into Myanmar from Thailand sometime March next year. Where are u coming from?

Yes, this is for just two people for 5 people the rate goes down to 1,286 per person. So if you have info on that company that is 3000 for a group that accommodates 5 for that would be amazing. As far as starting I am shipping the bikes out of Los Angeles Nov 20th to Vietnam. It will take 32 days to arrive in Vietnam (they say ha). So whenever I can get the bikes I will start my journey heading west would like to store the bikes in Armenia or Georgia but have not done much research on all that info yet but I am aware you can import it up to one year from what I have found.

Warmly welcome from Burma Senses, a division of Asia Senses Travel and Tour.

My wife and I plan to cross Thailand-Myanmar-India mid March 2018 on 1 motorcycle (2 up) so please keep us in the loop to share expenses.

Hey Bad lever,
I actually already went ahead and booked with a company it was 300$ discount in total think it was 3500 for 2 people. If we get 4 bikes it will be 1350 I would have to email him to see what it would be if it is 2 up one bike. As for dates I just told him that it would be around the beginning of march he said he would need to know a month around the exact date of entry.

Hi Crash-ridr
Sorry being late on this reply. We are still interested in crossing Thailand, Myanmar and into India about mid-March 2018. There is also another thread on this topic which I have replied to also.
Cheers
