Hi MJ,
Long story: our plan was to enter Thailand near Vientiane (Laos) and get a 15-day visa on arrival. A few days later we planned to go to Myanmar as described by you and return with a 60 day Thai visa, which we got in Laos before.
But Thai-Immigration gave us a hard time. Simon got 15 days as planned, but for me they insisted on stamping the 60 day visa. It was a real LONG and nasty story: lot´s of harassment and have to be polite to ass***!
I hate situations, where the stupid ones have the power.
After that the Myanmar trip was practically impossible for us:
Since we didn´t want to go through all the hassle and cost for another 60 day visa and since a 15 day visa on arrival after the Myanmar trip wouldn´t have been enough for us, we skipped the trip to Myanmar.
Now we are in Bangkok doing visa-applications, stocking up spare parts and prepare the airfreight to Nepal!
Cheers
Panny
