Burma vs. Laos

Is there WiFi access in Asia Plaza? How is the service of the bell boys? Do they have access to pretty ones? How much is current rate for girls they provide? Is there still the night club in Asia Plaza?

There's wifi in the lobby, no nightclub. Never used bell boy service

If Panorama is full, not far is Asia Plaza Hotel.

I don`t think there is a peak in Yangon. If Panorama is full, not far is Asia Plaza Hotel.

Thai Baht is no problem, other money I am not sure.

Thanks for the information. I will write my report after the travel.

I am planning to travel in Feb 2012. Is that peak tourist season with Panorama hotel fully occupied?

Is there any possibility to exchange Asian currencies like Singapore dollar or Malaysian ringgit in Yangon?

You will be lucky if you get one.

I was not lucky but never mind.

I got the visa at Bangkok by myself. It is very easy. You go (9am-12) at visa section of Myanmar Embassy at Thanon Pan near the intersection with Thanon Sathorn. You fill the application form, give your passport, two photos and 1260 baht and you come back later (3:30pm-4:30pm) to take your passport with visa stamp.

Good for you! Plenty of ticket agencies with visa service very near to Consulate. They do same day.

To Golfino.

There are no Massage place near the Myanmar consulate but there are plenty around Silom area, I can get a massage and wait for travel agent to get my visa.

Reading the forum I found that Emperor is at Shwedagon Pagoda Road, left side when coming from Strand Road, between Maha Bandula Road and Anawrahta Road.

Where is JJ club?

I believe (from RTFF) that JJ club is at Mingala Zei (market) on Set Yone Road. Could somebody please verify this?

I used this visa specialist in Bangkok many times, called Uranium Travel in Charn Issara Tower, near Sala Daeng BTS.

Very effcient service for visa to many countries. I remembered they even have Myanmar same day service if you are in a hurry.

If you apply from Singapore, go to Peninsula Plaza, any agent in there can do it for you.

Any contact details or web site for Uranium Travel.

The Myanmar Consulate has same day service. Just ask. Lines keep getting longer though, mass tourism has arrived. End of an era.

To Golfinho,

Time is money why go to the embassy yourself just paid a few extra bht to the travel service agent to get visa for you on stop shopping and you can buy air ticket from them too, I rather spend time at the massage place in Silom area than waiting in line at the Myanmar consulate.
