Portraits of Myanmar

Some photographs from our recent Burma recce

Some portraits of Myanmar, taken on our recent, 2-week recce trip to Burma (Myanmar). Internet access is, to say the least, limited and since we’ve been a bit rushed off our feet since our return to the Chiang Mai office so we’ll just stick up a few Burma photos for today and ‘normal’ service will be resumed asap! Actually took some 2,000 photos in 12 days – it’s a paradise for amateurs of photography – so a bit difficult to make a selection but we’ll begin with this Portraits of Myanmar – a selection of a few people photos.

First Burma tour should be late January 2012; Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan, Kalaw and Pindaya (Shan State) and Inle Lake – 14 days ex London with optional beach extension on the Andaman Coast and since we have a lot of early interest contact our UK office if you are interested. Precise dates, itinerary and cost of all our Burma (Myanmar) tours can be found at this link.

Cheers!
