Dear Judy,

Me and my friend are planning to visit Myanmar from 26 Nov to 2 Jan. We'd be interested to visit the main sights and something else off the beaten track: maybe the new capital Naypidaw and I also hear there are some great remote beaches in North. This itinerary looks like a good starting point: http://www.designtravelpl.com/tours_Myanmar/20120321tours_Myanmar_Burma_Yangon-Bagan-Mandalay-Inle-Lake-6days-5nights.htm

Would you be able to help us please?

Best,

O

Please let me know

1. How many days you wish to tour Myanmar? Is it from Nov 26 2012 to Jan 2, 2013? The period is more than 30 days.
2. Only after knowing the period of time can I advise on the itinerary which will include the four most popular spots. Naypidaw can be arranged. Then to Northern Myanmar and other places.

Pl let me know as soon as possible.

Thank you for your email. Pl provide me your budget, no. of rooms and the quality of hotel (3 or 4-star) you would like. This is because travel is customised and costs morer than packaged tours. As time is short, it will be more efficient to know your budget.

Basically I would recommend the following:
Dec 26 Yangon
Dec 27 Domestic flight from Yangon to Inle Lake in the morning.
Dec 28 Inle Lake and surrounding towns. Trekking at Kalaw.
Dec 29 Domestic flight from Inle to Mandalay
Dec 30 Mandalay
Dec 31 Mandalay by car to Pyin Oo Lwin, British military colonial hill resort
Dec 31 Pywin Oo Lwin & trekking
Jan 1 Mandalay to Bagan - domestic flight
Jan 2 Bagan
Jan 3 Bagan to Yangon domestic flight
Jan 4 Yangon to Singapore

Pl let me know if the above proposal is OK with you before I proceed further with the financial costs after receiving your budget and other requirements. Best wishes.

EMAIL TO DESIGN TRAVEL DATED NOV 1, 2012

Thanks for email. 

For the tour guide and car, is for only certain hours? Like if we want to go see sunrise or sunset, or eat at certain place, they can take us?

Could you also please advise me what is the confirmation and payment process like?

Thanks.

Sorry, another thing... How about parking fees too?

In Myanmar, the local guide is more hardworking and will usually take you to watch sunrise or sunset. The guide may be the driver or may not be. If you let them know the times you wish to see sunrise or sunset, let me know in advance and I will include it in the itinerary instructions for the local guide. I usually give them a tip for their hard work.

As for the parking fees, it is usually included in the transport quotation or in the overall quotation and so the traveller is free from such matters.

As for payment procedures, you will have to pay in US$ in full to Design Travel Private Limited and a receipt is issued by my office in Singapore.

Once payment is made, the bookings will then be made by my Myanmar agent partner. Changes can be made but it will involve cancellation fees.  Therefore, please buy travel insurance in case the traveller is not medically well to travel.

Pl confirm by reply email that you have agreed to the itinerary and we will proceed to invoice you. Many thanks.
