Air connections BKK to Mandalay

[billyhouston]

MAI, Myanmar Airways International have flights from BKK to MDL but I'm not sure that now is the best time to visit the 'fabled city'. Much as I enjoy Mandalay, Yangon and much of Shan State, I would be concerned that my visit might been seen as supporting the military who are murdering raping and pillaging throughout the country. What has been happening to the ethnics for the past 70 years is now being 'served up' to the Burmese themselves. The Covid situation is difficult to pin down but is likely to be pretty bad. (Burmese form about 60% of the population and the remaining 40% are the ethnics living in what were termed the 'Frontier' or 'Primitive' areas.)
