tour agency

Hi there

I am looking into traveling to Myanmar in December. I am looking to joinning a tour group starting at yagoon. Is there any good tour agency which I can easily prearrange my trip?
Cheers

So the Junta wins,everything gets back to normal then......................

where have u been ..hiding under a rock...

Violate the NLD Burma travel boycott, pay $200 USD upfront in required cash exchange to the Generals, and line the junta's pockets through a state controlled tour while Burmese are being tortured and murdered by the recipients of your largesse so you can fulfill your need to be a tourist in that country because no other country will suit your travel needs...you are a truly paragon of moral turpitude, aren't you, mate?

The $200 exchange has not been in effect for 5 years.

There haven't been State Tours for over a decade now (unless you count the one Gambari is on now.) Almost all tourism in Myanmar is privatized. Yes, through taxes, the junta makes money off of you.

If you want to express your opinion here, go ahead, but you might as well have your facts straight. And being nasty is making your point of view (which is definitely a valid one) seem ridiculous.

RunningDog uses the same tactics as the military junta of Myanmar. Lies, misinformation and scare mongering. Don't listen to the gutless prick. I do agree that now is not the time to be visiting Myanmar, though, but OP, don't be put off by this prick. Meeting with the Myanmar people in their own environs to gain a better understanding of their plight is the least you can do for them.

If more "gutless pricks" honored the travel boycott requested by the NLD perhaps freedom and liberty woud come more rapidly to Burmese people. Name callers universally use their hostility to mask their guilt for their own personal sense of responsibility for undermining the solidarity of the Burmese opposition struggling, fighting, and dying, to achieve liberty. I take no personal offence, nor will I respond in kind, as these words are a reflection of their individual cognitive dissonance over the economic and political consequences of their own behaviour.

RunningDog, you are a liar and you deliberately spread misinformation to further your cause as shown by your post above.

And let me say this, RunningDog, in my frequent visits to Myanmar, I have done more for the people there than you ever will with your don't visit Myanmar scare campaign. It about time you woke up and face reality.

The greatest thing DASSK could do for the Myanmar people right now is to flood the place with curious foreigners. The boycott must end now. It is irrational and does much more harm than good. I have been watching the news in the evening, and there is an implication that the country is a completely closed society, like North Korea.

News for those who have not been there: REGULAR MYANMAR PEOPLE LOVE FOREIGNERS. If you do not believe me, find a few Myanmar immigrants who live in your country and ask them yourself. They have nothing to gain from telling you to visit Myanmar. And guess what: They will all tell you to go. All of them.

The boycott does not work. The government does not make any real money from tourism. Everything is privatized anyway. Even the visa fee never makes it into the country. If people want to debate the point in a civil manner, feel free. Just don't act like a bunch of jerks.

I couldn't agree more with U Tom. Those of us who have family there know how important it is to have an International presence in Myanmar. And believe me, foreigners are very much liked and welcomed by the locals. I've been there so many times, spoken to so many people from all walks of life and they all want the things that we take for granted; freedom and democracy. Despite the hardships that many of the people there have faced, they are one of the most genuinely courteous and friendly people I have ever come across. They need us ... and we shan't let them down!

Lol, another stunner from our resident bigot ;-)
Poor old dog just hasn't got a clue. Not having an easy time of it Buddy, eh?

Buddy and his buddy don't mind tripping around Thailand taking advantage of the nice heated spas.. courtesy of the power generated by the Burma Junta.. Fuelling their never ending need for hard currency.
