Tour companies offer 7 day package tours from Myawady

Local tour companies have started offering tour packages for foreign tourists in Myawady on the Myanmar/Thai border, according to a managing director from a tour company.

In the past foreign tourists were only allowed a restricted one day visit from the Myawady border gate whereas the Tachileik and Muse border gates in Shan State allowed a 7 day stay over.


"The regional chief minister said that the permission would be given on July 1 but we don't know when it will be given as they still haven't finished making preparations. I expect the permission to be given in the near future," said Saw Moe Zat, managing director of Moe Ko San Travels & Tours Co. Ltd.

According to him, tourists will be allowed to visit Pha-an in Kayin State and Kyaikhtiyo and Mawlamyaing in Mon State through the Myawady border gate.

"We have been making arrangements to run eight 24-seaters minibuses from Myawady to Pha-an and Kyaikhtiyo," he added.

Myanmar citizens will also be allowed to travel for six days in Thailand using a temporary border pass through Myawady border gate.
