Frugal Flashpackers Fly from Thailand to Yangon (Video)

 

On September 28, 2012 we traveled to Bangkok airport to fly to Yangon, Myanmar (Burma) for our 28-day stay. As Air Asia was moving to a new airport on October 1, 2012, they had a BIG RALLY with the Bangkok University Cheerleading Team to celebrate their move.

The Bangkok Cheerleaders are a great team, what a wonderful and enthusiastic group! We took photos with them and promised to link this video to their Facebook site.

Now we were ready for our next great Air Asia flight and country #3 on our year adventure. Both George and I had been to Myanmar (Burma) before, but this is our first time together. We can’t wait to share our adventures with you.

This movie is from our 28 days in Myanmar (Burma) from September 28, 2012 to October 26, 2012 and our year TRIP in Southeast Asia. See all the videos from Myanmar here.
