He does already: check reports of members who were his clients. 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

For now: Mount Victoria (orig. Nat Ma Taung, height 2131 m), 230 km from Bagan (i.e about 5-6 hours by local roads by car + about 4 last kms to walk by mountain trail), guide - Kaung ( https://siamroads.com/kaung-bagan-burma/ ), any accommodation in Bagan.

 

Prices: guide's time $75 per 14 hours, accommodation any - depends on your budget, car - will tell you late.

Ok, I'm back with answers: car for one day trip is USD200 per car, 2 pax. Entrance fee is USD 8 per person. Also is possible to take 3 day-tour, then car cost USD 130 daily.

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. So I think you may be first member to observe Simon's guiding here at forum

By the way, I don't know how to leave a review about Nicki on your website. Would you put my reviews for her? She is a very friendly guide with a lot of knowledge about the places we have been.
