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

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.

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.
