Nov 18, 2012

Hi

Thank you for your email.
Please let me know if the following itinerary is OK with you before I get the financial quotations for you. 4-star hotels are not available now as Dec is the peak tourist season and there is a shortage of 4-star hotels built due to the past years when the US sanctions were in place.  3-star hotels are the ones available now and usually they are clean and suitable for tourists. However I will try to get the 4-star hotel for you if possible. The itinerary is as follows:

One person. 4-star hotel if possible

DT_Dec22_12-Jan1_2013_one pax

                            
                                          OVERNIGHT

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 more than packaged tours. As time is short, it will be more efficient to know your budget.

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

Hi Grace

Hotels are full in this December peak tourist season and the 4-star hotels are fully booked. I can't confirm which 3-star hotel will be booked as a booking fee of 50% is needed before the hotel will reserve the rooms. As prospects cancel at the last minute (I have two such cases now), I don't book in anticipation of a closed deal since I will have to pay the cancellation fees. Hotels will be booked once full payment is made.

 During the US sanctions of the past years, very few 4- or 5-star hotels were built and now, there is a great shortage of such class in Myanmar. 3-star hotels do not have the gym and pool but they are usually decent and clean.

The following is the quotation.

26 Dec, Arrival Yangon
27 Dec, Yangon- Heho- Inle ( Flight)
28 Dec, Inle - Kalaw ( trekking)
29 Dec, Kalaw - Heho- Mandalay
30 Dec,Mandalay sightseeing
31 Dec,Mandalay - Pyin Oo Lwin - Mandalay
1 Jan,Mandalay - Bagan ( flight)
2 Jan,Bagan sightseeing
3 Jan,Bagan - Yangon ( flight)
4 Jan, Departure

The tour price will be 1578 USD/pax ( based on 4 pax)

Hotel used
3 star hotel use( due to tight occupancy we are not sure which hotel to get and we will try any of the available same class hotel at each destination)

Inclusion
  
   -    All hotel accommodation with breakfast.
   -    All transfer and sightseeing with private A/C Car.
   -    Domestic flight fare
   -    Entrance fee and Zone fee.
   -    English Station Guide.
   -    Boat fee in Inle
   -    Trekking fee in Kalaw
   -    Government tax and our service charges.

Dear David

Thank you for your reply email. I am a little uncomfortable to pay in full the us$ in advance of issuing of tickets. Is it possible to see the booking schedule before tickets are issued and then make payment?

Would they be etickets?

Could you tell me approximate cost of the following:
Yangon to bagan
Bagan to Mandalay
Mandalay to heho
Heho to Yangon

----------------------------------------------------------


 EMAIL REPLY FROM DAVID  Nov 16, 2012

I am David Sing. I can understand your concerns about loss of monies from service providers who don't provide the services.

I am a Singaporean licensed travel agent (www.designtravelpl.com) and a private veterinarian (www.toapayohvets.com) if you wish to know more about me. I did a booking for an expatriate to Myanmar some weeks ago but the couple cancelled the booking leading to me having to pay the cancellation fees for the hotels to my Myanmar agent who trusted me when I asked her to book first.

This is why I want full payment from all prospects. Domestic flight booking system are NOT as sophisticated as Singapore Airlines and other carriers and so there no no e-tickets.

In reply, please specify the dates and times and places you wish me to book the tickets.
As regards some pricing of domestic flights, please go to www.designtravelpl.com and to its BLOGS.

Best wishes.
