Thai company plans to build hotel in Burma
A Thai company plans to build a five-million-dollar hotel in Burma.
A report out of Burma said the hotel would cater for domestic tourists and international travellers on package tours.
The Myanmar Times newspaper reported the director of the Jaguar Travel and Tour Company signed an agreement with Burma's hotel and tourism chief, Khin Maung Latt, to build the 100-room resort hotel.
The property, to be built over two years in the military-ruled state, will be located in a border area near the Three Pagodas Pass, famous as a stopping point along the route of the infamous World War II "death railway."
Khin Maung Latt reportedly praised the project, saying it would create jobs for local residents and would boost tourism in Burma.
