Advice needed from those who are familiar with long-term stays.

DO note Chin. NwYr=around 5/2/19, which plays havock to most transport and in the nearby other countries. Probably best to simply stay put that week.

On that thought, where is nice to stay for a week AND not particularly popular with Chinese tourists ? I'll be in SE Asia on a long stay next winter.

Burma at the last count required visas in advance for air passengers but not those crossing by land - which seemed a tad bizarre.

Where did you get that from?

I have been to Myanmar twice (in by land, out by air; in by air, out by land; visa from Myanmar embassy in Bangkok and online visa) and in all my travel and preparation I have not heard/read of this.
