I arrived back in BKK this morning and I am staying in the New Siam Riverside Guesthouse. Phone (66) 0 2629 3535 Room 4407. I finally get to stay in the LEGENDARY Khao San Road area. The guesthouse is very nice but not completed so the rate is reasonable enough - with a view of the river and a hair dryer!!!!
I will leave Bangkok for Rangoon by Air Asia early (flight leaves at 0715) tomorrow morning (Tuesday 13th March).
In Rangoon I aim to stay at Beauty Land 2 Guest House near Scott Market or White City GH or White House Hotel or near Sule Pagoda in the YMCA (2 or 3 days in Rangoon)
Then I will go to Inle Lake where I will head to Nyaungshwe area and hopefully stay either at In-Wa GH or Queen Inn GH or Aquarius GH. (I plan to spend 3 days here)
Then to Mandalay where I aim to stay at Royal GH (2 days)
Then I will take the slow boat to Bagan (the high-light of the trip) (3 or 4 days). No idea where I will stay here but I will know my way around by the time I get here so it wont be a problemoh.
Then back to Rangoon and fly out to Bangkok on the 27th March at 0835, stay in Bangkok for one day and fly to London at 0315 on Wednesday the 28th March arriving 12.15 (midday) at Heathrow.
There are some lovely beaches and areas off the beaten track but I can't say if I will get to them or not yet. There is access to internet in Rangoon but very little else where. I’m sure I will find some way to stay in touch. Yesterday, I bumped into Czech Christian, one of my travelling companions from Laos and he was so thrilled with his recent time in Burma, he has reignited my enthusiasm for travel. I do feel the pull of home very strongly now that I know the time is short. I am looking forward to seeing everyone.
Love,

have a fantastic time and enjoy your last adventure
See you soon. If you read this while you are there... while in Bagan I bought a lovely marionette: a hand-carved 'nat' puppet of the king of the gods (Thagyarmin) — and for a lot of bargaining. But when I got home I gave it as a present for someone. I don't regret giving it to this person, but I feel a bit disappointed I didn't have much to show for my Burmese experience, so if you can find one (you might find them selling them at the temples) I will give you the dosh when you get back. But only if you can fit it in your bag! Have a great time!
happy paddy's Day...has anyone in Burma heard of Ireland?... " no, not england..IRELAND "...
