Local tour companies have started offering tour packages for foreign tourists in Myawady on the Myanmar/Thai border, according to a managing director from a tour company.
In the past foreign tourists were only
allowed a restricted one day visit from the Myawady border gate whereas
the Tachileik and Muse border gates in Shan State allowed a 7 day stay
over.
"The regional chief minister said that
the permission would be given on July 1 but we don't know when it will
be given as they still haven't finished making preparations. I expect
the permission to be given in the near future," said Saw Moe Zat,
managing director of Moe Ko San Travels & Tours Co. Ltd.
According to him, tourists will be
allowed to visit Pha-an in Kayin State and Kyaikhtiyo and Mawlamyaing in
Mon State through the Myawady border gate.
"We have been making arrangements to run eight 24-seaters minibuses from Myawady to Pha-an and Kyaikhtiyo," he added.
Myanmar citizens will also be allowed to
travel for six days in Thailand using a temporary border pass through
Myawady border gate.
