Bangkok -> Yangon

Said bye to Fran this morning- their flight was at 11 so they were out by 8. I had a bit of a lie in after that and checked out about 10. I took the hotel shuttle down to the Siam centre which is a massive mall as I wanted to stock up on some toiletries before Myanmar and also get my nails sorted out.

It was pretty quiet around town- it is a Sunday but i found it a bit eerie actually, and the nail lady said I was the first customer they had had in 2 days so she was pleased to see me! Went back to the hotel and then took a taxi to the airport about 1.30. Was there quite early but that was ok- had a macdonalds 🙈

Flight was easy so landed in Yangon about 5pm here (time difference in 30 minutes from Thailand which is confusing)! Got money, a SIM card and took a taxi so arrived at the hostel about 6.30.

FaceTimed Kate after check in as we were going to start planning for Sri Lanka but with all the uncertainty we didn’t end up doing much planning but just talking about everything that is going on. Had some food at the hostel after and got chatting to a french girl- she’d just come from Vietnam where it’s become very difficult to travel now for lots of Europeans.Read more
