Try these people.

I went there yeeeaaars ago when it was still Burma and I got my visa in Thailand.

You used to be able to get a one-week stay without any visa at all. Reckon that's changed now.

It's in my 1969 copy of the Oxford English dictionary, so I imagine it's been in use for some time. Even in Wales we were taught to use it, but usually it was preceeded by a pronoun.

Before you go I encourage you to read about how you can keep your tourist dollars away from the government. There's a section in the Lonely Planet.

My trip to Myanmar two years ago is still one of favorites. The people there are incredibly friendly. If you get a chance, a trip to Inle Lake is worth it.
