Thinking of heading to Burma for 12 - 14 days touring.
Will be travelling from Phuket.
Want to see a bit of Yangon, Bagan and Mandalay. Want to see some cultural sites but also go to places that have at least some nightlife !
ANy other suggestions on good places to visit? What about travel between these places? Is it feasible to travel between them by public bus or rail ?
If i fly into Yangon do i have to leave by Yangon too back to Phuket?
The visa situation on the air Bagan website is not clear. It says you have to apply for the visa from a Burmese consulate, then under that it gives you the forms to download for Visa On Arrival - so i am confused !
Thanks in advance for any help.

I've been on a non-b visa extension and work permit for a number of years. The last 12 months or so, i frankly became too lazy to do the 90 day address reporting.
Yesterday i went in to get a re-entry permit as i have to fly out of Thailand shortly and the Immigration Police, who was focused solely on issuing re-entry permits, didn't mention the missing 90 day piece of paper in my passport. He stamped me up and passed everything on to a junior girl (possibly Rajabaht work experience) to write out the receipt. It was her that noticed the missing paper. I told her i must have left it at home, and she said i'd better have it when i fly out because i'll be in 'big trouble' otherwise.
I'll prudently take the 2k baht fine with me to the airport just in case, but i was wondering what the likelihood is of the airport immigration actually checking that?

(As an aside, the reason i don't do 90 day reporting is that it's useless. A colleague who lives rent-free with parents and therefore has no lease agreement, was told by immigration police that he could just fill in the form and register at my house if i agreed (we were sat next to each other) even though he stated to them that he did NOT live at my house. They waved this away saying it didnt matter - ergo, what is the point of doing the 90 day reporting to verify you live at an address that you don't. Pointless. Phuket immigration is so busy these days that its become a hassle to do this pointless piece of free bureaucracy. )
