ORIGINAL POSTER

A quick question about a bounce and back at Phu Nam Ron.  Re entering to get a new exemption, US citizen, first land crossing this year.  When reviewing experiences of others, it seems most everyone rides in a chartered van for the trip in and out of  Myanmar.  Is this advised over taking a privately owned car?
