chanchao Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 If only this were to happen.. Via 2Bangkok I found a link to an old (but not that old) map showing a planned railway line from Chiang Mai to Burma.. What a lovely idea!

Thetyim Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 What a wonderful idea. I like MaeSariang nice laid back little town. I did not realise it was so close to the coastline. It would be really appealing to do a river trip from MaeSariang down to MoulMein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thetyim Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 If ONLY!!! Don't give up so easily, Pauly. At this very moment Dr Taksin, our great leader, is building a tunnel from ChiangMai to MaiHongSong. Just a little further and it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 More like mud flats, rather than good beaches, in the vicnity of Moulmein. Setse Beach/Amherst wouldn't be worth the trip, neither the beach nor the sea are very clean/clear. You don't really get good beach along that section of coast till you almost reach Tavoy/Dawei. Moulmein itself is interesting though. Someday ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appeared to be a scenic place to explore. Alas having only crossed the border on a visa runs, I know nothing of interior travel. Can you freely explore, without a hassle or must you run through restrictions and red tape.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
