Anthony Boundain's CNN series went to Myanmar for its first season which just finished airing and was filmed a few months ago; and he mentioned that all foreign tourist travel is limited to a triangular area in the center of the country, so the Padaung that's near Yangon, is most likely the location that TAR would have gone to as between those two locations.
Again, I realize we haven't confirmed this as part of a leg, but it does help refine the potential locations that might have been visited.

Here are some pictures from google earth of Padaung (the one in Central Myanmar):

I was in Myanmar a few years back and wasn't sure of the extent of tourist travel or commercial filming, but the major tourist areas are in a kite shape from Yangon to Taunggyi to Mandalay to Bagan. If I were a producer and got to go to Myanmar, though, I would definitely milk it and make two legs out of it!
It's possible to use Facebook there via proxy, but you need to find an internet cafe that knows how to get around the blocks.

I'm at the ready!
If you need me to get to SFO, try and give me some advanced notice... it takes a while to get up there, especially if it's during rush hour traffic... (1 hour plus, depending)
SJC is just up the freeway from me (remote possibility) and should only take 15 minutes
Fingers crossed that they return to the Bay!
