The bus took us back to the bus station-styled airport terminal of Heho airport, for our last official day of the tour. We put our carry on luggage through the x-ray scanner at security and then went through the scanner which, unbelievably, was turned off so the security guard, briefly, checked us with a wand. The worst thing was Craig was let through without having to turn out his pockets which included his phone and wallet. Even more concerning though, a monk wasn't subjected to any checks, scanner nor wand!
The flight to Yangon was a very quiet journey and we were collected from the airport by Wyn (who had picked us up last week), our guide for the day. After getting checked in, back to Hotel Mawtin, we got organised and headed back out for some lunch. The first stop on the itinerary, after lunch, was to Bogyoke Aung San Market (formerly known as Scott Market), a colonial style building that now houses a massive market that sells artwork, jewellery, bolts of material, clothes and everything else that Myanmar offers.

The alarm felt very early at 07:00 (even earlier for Katy when Craig's went off at 06:20 for him to get up and watch the Packers game) and after getting ready and packed we headed out for our last meal in Thailand, breakfast at Nai Wiang. The taxi picked us up and in no time at all we were checked in, through security and facing immigration.
