Very impressed by Pandaw's organisation, service and particularly the ship and crew. I did the 10 night Golden Land cruise from Mandalay to Yangon which was a good introduction to Myanmar and an insight into the culture and life along the river. Pandaw II is beautifully fitted out in wood and brass, the cabins are airconditioned and nothing is too much for the crew, if they could pick you up and carry you they would. The food was excellent with a good range and choice. I can't say it was particularly relaxing as we usually had two excursions per day so there wasn't as much sitting and reading as I had intended. In hindsight I should have spent a few days independently in Mandalay before the cruise as there is much more to experience than a half day city tour was able to cover. I enjoyed this trip so much that I have booked another Pandaw cruise for later this year, this time from Siem Reap to Ho Chi Minh City down the Mekong. Can't wait.
