I don't exactly know, but I heard the border are close for getting in. My fly was from Yangon to NYC with stops in Bangkok and Japan with Myanmar Airlines at 5.30 ok tomorrow. Mayanmar airlines sent me an email canceling that flight buy the wierd think is that the flight before at 4.30 was available. So I bough it. Ones I get to Yangon I will ask them why the cancel the flight at 5.30 without reschedule me for one hrs later.
