Tachileik, Myanmar. DVDs At 35 BAHT Per Piece. So Cheap............

I did took some of the picture at Tachileik, Myanmar. They are selling branded watches, branded bag, many type of branded T-shirt, shirts, shoes and many many more ......... even some branded phone.

As I have mention my main priority is to purchase DVDs. Here are some of the DVDs that I have brought. Total quality DVDs that I have brought is about 22 pieces. Guess what ? How much one DVDs will cost you? I guess I will never imagine that I can brought this kind of quality DVDs at this price. 35 BAHT. Yes ..... 35 Baht is about RM 3.60 per piece. Shocking for me also.

Actually if I could, I would like to buy all the DVDs from that shop. There are so many until you don't know how to choose. What to do? If you buy too many then I might be facing a problem with the Malaysian Customs. I spent nearly about 800 Baht to purchase the DVDs.

Myanmar - Tachileik. The Small Shopping Heaven.

Today I have visited the Myanmar country for the second time. My plan visiting there was to purchase quality DVDs. My target was Micheal Jackson DVDs. This time around I have make my planning very well.

This time I be going to Myanmar - Tachileik just by paying 10.00 USD only. Previously I was being charged about 100 Baht at Thailand Immigration for holding my passport at the border and 10.00 USD at Myanmar Immigration but this time I'm bringing my passport to cross over. I told the Immigration officer that I'm might be staying over there (Myanmar), so they won't keep my passport over there and they are not going to charge 100 Baht from me.

Frankly I like to do some shopping over there as their goods look more beautiful and better. They seems to have the latest and updated product compare to their neighbour Thailand. As usual I bringing my passport over there and I'm preparing my 10.00 USD to pay it to them. It is usual that you have to pay some entrance fees at the border. Either you pay 500 Baht or 10 USD.

To my surprised, they took my passport and change it to their new Entry Permit. Quite new for me because I have never experienced it before. They took my photo and print it on the Entry Permit. When I want to go back to Thailand, I have to return the Entry Permit to exchange my passport back.

But during my entrance back to Thailand, the Immigration officer just gave me only 15 days duration of stay at Thailand. Usually when you arrive at the airport, the Thailand Immigration will gave you at least 30 days duration of stay. After I have done with my shopping, I went to the center of the town but there is nothing for me to look at. All I can see at their round-bout was a word " CITY OF THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE ".

Quality The Same. Price Only The Different. Giorgio Armani.

What is the different between this two boxes of ties. As I mention before during my trip to Myanmar on 9th January 2009, I did do some shopping and I brought a new tie. Check my previous posting Shopping Paradize At Tachileik, Myanmar.

Check it nicely. One is fake and another one is real.

The different between the two is the price. One only cost RM 20.00 and another one cost RM 199.90.

The Blue tie's come with a tie and an extra handkerchief and the Brown tie's just with a tie only.

Both quality look the same and even the workmanship is not much different.

Well on your left is the fake one and on your right is the real one. Both look the same quality.

The Brand that I mention here is GIORGIO ARMANI. Made In Italy.

Shopping Paradise At Tachileik, Myanmar.

While I was visiting Myanmar on 9th January 2009, my first intention is to look around that country and my first time stepping into the country.

During my visiting I was so surprised that the place have a shopping paradise. People who are looking for a cheap thing like Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur can find a lot things in that places.

So many branded item, branded watches, branded tie and etc...etc...etc...

During my last year graduation in Master of Business Administration, one of my friend gave me a present. A Giorgio Armani tie. That tie cost him RM 199.90.

At first when I saw the tie I asked the sales girl how much that they were selling. The girl told me that the price is 400 Baht. Well I consider it is cheap although the items is fake.

Then I examined the quality of it and I found out that the quality is quite good. Worth of buying. I asked her again how much really they were selling ? 50 percent discount ! Cost only 200 Baht. Without any hesitation I straight away choose one and buy the colour I liked.

Not only they were selling branded ties they also selling some branded bags, branded spectacles.

Managed to buy one spectacles at the price of 100 Baht.

So many spectacles don't know which one to choose ?

Nice or not ? 100 Baht spectacles. But I heard they can buy it at even cheaper price. Just only 60 Baht to 70 Baht only.

Travelling To Myanmar.

On the 9th January 2009, I have a chance to travel to neighbour country, Myanmar. It was my first time going there.

Across the border there was a town called Tachileik. Just by walking only you can reach the neighbour country.

The Immigration check point at Maesai before crossing over to Tachileik.

Small check point. Not very big. It is just that they separated the lane into three section. First lane for the Thai's, second lane for the Burmese and the third for the foreigner. When I check in, the Immigration officer told me that I have only 15 days to visit Myanmar and must return to Thailand. When I told them I was just visiting for 1 day, the Thailand Immigration officer told me to pay 100 Bath and issue me a special VIP pass and hold my passport at the their check point. They will only return it once I have finish visiting the Myanmar country.

Pay 100 Bath to them ? Why they keep my passport and issue me a VIP pass ? At least in future I should just keep quiet and walk through to Burma and then I can save my 100 Bath. Because of one day trip, I been charged by the Thailand Immigration officer. Ok, continue with my journey. Just by walking across the bridge after the Immigration check point we will be reaching the Myanmar country.

When I went towards to Burma, both country were separated by this Maesai river. On my right is the Myanmar country and on my left is Thailand country.

The view was at the back of Thailand Immigration check point. On the bridge we can notice that there were two different flags. One is Myanmar flags and another one is Thailand flags.

Reaching the signboard or the entrance to Union Of Myanmar.

Myanmar Immigration check point.

Before on my way in to the check point at Tachileik, I was inform I have to a pay a fees in order to enter to the country. Either I pay 500 Bath or USD 10.00. I choose to pay USD 10.00 because if you exchange the rate it only cost you about 360 Bath.
