Bagan, Mandalay, Inle Lake, mount Popa... the only what he didn't - Swedagon pagoda - cuz it is in Yangon. And thank you for highlighting Kaung and Myanmar here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moses Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Did anyone visit Yangon with the new guide Simon? I'm starting to plan a trip so I'm interested in your reviews Simon was quite busy with Yangon gay film festival at past 2 month, so he has only 3 clients till now. As I know all them aren't forum's members since all of them came from FaceBook.
