Myanmar is very poor and Tachileik is a sleepy little town with exception at the border crossing where a lot of commerce are going in and out. New crossing should be ready for turcks and buses one kilometer east in 2-3 months. Here is a shoot of the new temple just outside Tachileik and me trying to cross a stream somewhere near Phayao, Thailand.

Meet in Chiang Mai ???
 

I was not aware there is a meeting planed for c. Mai, or have I missed it ? I'm currently in CM and plan to be around for another 3 weeks untill aprox 11th Jan,
