No. It was real:
I forgot to mention that I had bought my PR and 8M e-tickets online, directly at the websites of these two airlines. 8M’s Visa
card transactions were being processed at the time by Kasikorn Bank, Thailand. Both airlines used the Verified By Visa system,
and there were no problems with my card’s US-based issuing bank.
I have additional photos of Myanmar; please reply or PM if you are interested, and I can post or provide the links.
Thank you very much for viewing, and for reading, this TR.
Happy travels to all of you.
