Who is behind Fascinating Land Travels?
We, Mong Pay and Michael Pfeiffer, are friends with very different
backgrounds. The love for the country Myanmar, her fascinating people
and sceneries unite us since 2003.
Mong Pay
 My name is Mong Pay, which means little boy in Pa-O dialect. The Pa-O
are an ethnic group living in the Eastern part of Myanmar (in the Shan
State, where Inle Lake is situated). My native town is Taunggyi, the
capital of Shan State. Besides speaking Myanmar and English language I
speak my local dialect, Pa-O.
Being myself from a hill tribe, I have deep knowledge of the various
ethnic people in Myanmar. Previously I worked as free-lance tour guide
for five years, showing and explaining my native region especially to
European visitors. Thus I have gained a good understanding about what my clients
need and what they prefer. This understanding in combination with my local knowledge allows
me to create relevant and enjoyable itineraries for our guests.
Michael Pfeiffer
 I am German and have been living and working in Myanmar since 1996.
Before establishing a travel agency in Yangon, I used to work for a
large multinational company.
I fell in “love” with the country Myanmar and her people from the
first day. Frequently traveling in Myanmar as a tourist, I knowing
first hand, what International guests expect from a good travel agent.
What is our aim?
Individual tours, tailor-made to the desires of our guests, traveling
as individuals or in small groups. Share with us your ideas and
wishes and we will
design a journey especially for you.
Do you want to see as much as possible or do you want take it slow
and really
take in the
culture, the people and the country Myanmar? Do you prefer luxury
or do not mind simplicity and the local ambient?
We will be glad to arrange flight- or hotel bookings only, if clients
do not have a need for a complete package.
It is important for us to know if you have any
physical limitations. Not everybody likes to take 18 hours rides on a
local bus on bumpy roads.
The more you tell us, the more we can respond to your wishes to ensure
that you will really have that vacation of your dreams.
You can choose from our standard itineraries but
we will gladly modify them according to your wishes, or organize
trips totally individually for you.
We will only be content, when our guests at the end of their
journey say,
that they have experienced the real Myanmar thoroughly.
Tourists to Myanmar by no means should expect infrastructure similar
to their home-countries. We give you honest advice about the different
options, with advantages and disadvantages. If a trip on a bumpy road
will likely take 5 hours, we will advise you accordingly !
Our emphasis is on providing excellent services at fair prices. We do
not want to sell you the cheapest option but the one
best fitting your needs. We know
there are very cheap German language tour
guides available. Unfortunately, we also know
you won’t be able to understand them!
Our ultimate goal is for our guests to return to their home country
with great memories and impressions,
and in the future returning
themselves or
recommending us to their friends.
Our desire is to acquaint you with
this beautiful country and help you
explore her secrets, deep forests, and primitive ethnic groups,
still little known in the outside world.
Why the name “Fascinating Land”?
Although many people in the outside world know the country Myanmar or
Burma by name, very few know much about this country.
Most tourists arrive, not knowing what to expect. Despite that,
not long after their arrival, most visitors are fascinated by the
country, her people and the sights.
