NOW THIS IS A TRAFFIC JAM!!~~~>ASIAN *F.O.B.* STYLE!!!

…After a 6 hour drive to the Burma/Thai border—I got the luxury of sitting in one of these Yachts for 90 minutes.

Literally these little ‘Thai style boats’ drive us across the waterway…and we spend about 30 minutes in Burma while we process our passports.

…Once we’ve completed the paper work…we turn back around in a 12 passenger van—and head back to Phuket (another 6 hours)

…all in all—this lil’ day trip to Burma took me close to 13 hours.

It’s amazing to see these people navigate these boats though…literally they are all smashed into the dock—and they have to jig-saw-puzzle their way out of the maze.

Another interesting thing I found out today—their are ‘cruise ships’…with legal gambling (Floating Casino) available in Burma.
