Thank you for all those who contributed to my earlier thread. After the various requests %26amp; budget requirement of our party, we have ';compromised'; and settled on a general itinerary. Love to hear comments from Burma experts.
Our travel time would be 1st-3nd week January of 2009.
Day 1 - Bangkok/Kula Lumpur - Yangon
* We intend to fly from either Bangkok or Kula Lumpur to Yangoon. Air Asia runs a reasonable priced flight from Bangkok at US$75. Unforunately they dont operate from KL. Two members need to fly from there, does anyone knows where can we book a reasonable priced one-way flight?
Day 2-4 - Inle Lake
I have tried to look for swimming opportunity in the lake but could not find the inforamtion. Is it possible? Otherwise is there any resort hotel (4* onwards) that comes with a swimming pool?
Day 5-7 - Bagan
All major sightseeing with ballon flight - do we have to book this in advance? What is the cost involved?
Is Mt Popa worth a visit?
Day 8-9 - Cruise to Mandalay
Does the 2 night cruise worth? Prices obtained from the internet seems very expensive at US$300+ per person. We found the only cruises suitable for tourists with comfortable level of standards are Pandaw, Panda 1847 and Orient Express, are there other options?
Day 10-12 - Mandalay %26amp; around
Also trip to Monywa with overnight - apart from the reclining Buddha we also like the opportunity to capture some good shots on rural farmlands, possible?
Day 13 - Mandalay to Bangkok/Kunming
Four members wish to fly Kunming after Mandalay. China Eastern Airline seem to operate this route, however, after hearing so many flight cancellations, how reliable is this route? Official price seems $240, is there any discount if we book via local agents?
Myanmar Itinerary
1. Only MAI fly to K.L - Yangon.
2. Inle Princess Resort will be added the Swimming pool but I%26#39;m not sure whether they have completed. You may check on their web. Shwe Innthar Resort have swimming pool.
