I am a gemologist from US and always dreamed to go to Burma see and buy local colored stones. I know that Mogok is closed to foreigners. But I also know that a lot of stones from Myanmar are being sold in Mae Sot, border Thai city. I have some questions:
1.Is there a gem market in Myawadi(its Burmese counterpart) as well?
2.Can I cross to Mae Sot and come back to Burma same day with my single entry burmese visa?
3.What%26#39;s the best way to get to Myawadi from Yangon (bus?) and how long does it take?
Myawadi-Mae Sot
With Single entry visa you may not get in and out of Burma multiple times.
Myawadi-Mae Sot
1) bad option since it%26#39;s not stable in terms of security. market is small one organized by some retailers.
2)Not sure allegedly if you are an American.
3)You cannot travel from Yangon to Myawadi *(Restricted).
best start for your gemologist survey/touch, Yangon is the best; safe and secured.
