Myanmar

Since a Political/Military Coup in 1962 Burma/Myanmar has essentially been "closed". This country is boardered by China, Thailand, India, Laos and Bangladesh. One-third of Burma's total perimeter is uninterrupted coastline along the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. Of course, everyone wants to go where they are told they can't go. And since the military began relinquishing more of its control over the government, and the release in 2011 of Burma's most prominent human rights activist, Aung San Suu Kyi –entrance, communications and relations with foriegn goverments have been eased. I am here at the boarder with the Thai Army (Impressive!)
This is the "Guest House" (a.k.a Hut) in Sop Pong, Pang Mapha (Thailand) where we have been staying while riding around. 19.51616,98.25458
But nothing is more impressive than this site of the Myanmar boarder!
Enjoying the Ride so far!
