Rare twototravel Posted November 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2017 We depart on our trip in just 59 days on the Makara Queen. This is a different ship than Vantage used in the past on the Irrawaddy. What's nice is that you can get your visas online and approval comes within just a few days. We will also be visiting Laos at the end of our trip and they do visas on arrival. My husband has started learning some basic Burmese words; very difficult language since the alphabet is just curly cues. We picked up a few dos and don'ts already: cover shoulders and knees, don't show the bottoms of your feet to anyone, and always bring your own toilet paper. We also read that to exchange money, if you bring new $100 bills you will get a better exchange rate. Anyone have any other tips for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
