WTH??? Why are you going?
It sounds messed up there.
I have been there 4 times, this will be my 5th time. It is the craziest place ever. The last time I went, they did not want to let me in Mong La because I was an American. they only let Chinese in that area, I paid my way to get in but they took my passport.

Take care, Fly. You're going alone? You are really like dangerous adventure.
I am going on a 16 hour adventure from buses, taxi and train to Mong La, I am going alone, I don't want to take anyone with me Anyone I know wouldn't go there anyway. I am just afraid being denied entry to to the civil unrest, The Shan state is a Red zone but I will get in somehow.

Are you staying anywhere or is it a continuous adventure with no sleep?


If you don't comeback, can I have your watches? I'll donate them to charities. ;)

This is a business trip or for leisure?

No, where I got jacked is in Phnom Penh, I am going there the 25th for 3 days, then to Bangkok for 2 days ,then to Yangon then my journey to the Shan State in Mong La, it is going to be a crazy crazy time. Then I am headed back to Santa Barbara the end of March.

This is old but a funny read on people asking how to get to Mong La and if anyone can take them. I have been there 3 times and each time, I had to pay militias and surrender my passport and my phone, but there are tons of casinos, crazy illegal wildlife , girls, , on the way there in the jungle, it is ranked 2nd int he world for opium production, i have been close to someI had a guy with me that I met and he has taken me all 3 times, he assures me it will be a challenge this time but we can do it, but the roads to get there are unreal and with the civil unreal , dangerous. But this is a good read. These are guys are clueless and it is all about being resourceful.
