As long as you have flexibility in your schedule it can work. For a hard and fast 7 day chunk of time to get in/out of Myanmar, a risky plan. I'm not a typical FT'er either, but do have a lot of experience with my butt in a developing Asian-country bus seat. Let's put it this way: your butt will be sorest when alighting from the Myanmar bus vs the Laos bus, the Cambodia bus, the Vietnam bus, the China bus, etc. etc.
