Looking across the bridge from Mae Sai, Thailand into Tachiliek, Burma. All travelers must arrive through Rangoon airport. ArcticTropic is the Gateway to Adventure in Burma and Thailand, I shot this video in 1988, and things have not changed since then – Time Stands Still In Burma.

Burma

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

Until the 1990′s Burma was really the “Back of Beyond” It was isolated with only a twice weekly flight from Bangkok to Rangoon, and a maximum one week visa issued to visitors who were only allowed to come in on group tours. Now, the country has opened up and travel is unlimited for up to a month.ArcticTropic now has three providers in Burma, with many more to be added.
