Regarding Yangon:

We know, based on teams being seen at Vienna Airport on 22 Jun, that they would arrived that night and raced (be it Qatar or Abu Dhabi) on 23 Jun. That's Leg 7. We also know that Phil tweeted at 12.37am Qatar/1.37am UAE/4.07am Myanmar on the morning of 25 Jun. Finally, we know Phil was in Bandung by the afternoon of 26 Jun.

Are we able to fit Myanmar in? Phil could have arrived in Yangon by the morning of 24 Jun:
EY 402 from Abu Dhabi to Bangkok, 23/2140-24/0705
QR 612 from Doha to Bangkok, 23/2055-24/0745
PG 701 from Bangkok to Yangon, 24/0850-0940

And teams can do the same the next day, arriving for a Leg 8 in Yangon on 25 Jun. Phil can get to Bandung that very night if he leaves by the late afternoon:
MH 743 from Yangon to Kuala Lumpur, 25/1655-2110
QZ 8458 from Kuala Lumpur to Bandung, 2250-2355

Teams would travel the next day, giving us the Bangkok-Singapore sighting on the 26th:
TG 302 from Yangon to Bangkok, 26/1455-1650
SQ 981 from Bangkok to Singapore, 26/2100-27/0025
QZ 8366 from Singapore to Bandung, 27/0900-0940

Everything fits so far...
21 Jun: Leg 6, Vienna
22 Jun: *Phil in Abu Dhabi*
23 Jun: Leg 7, Abu Dhabi
24 Jun: *Phil in Yangon*
25 Jun: Leg 8, Yangon
26 Jun: *Phil in Bandung*
27 Jun: Leg 9, Bandung

Except two details. One: why would Phil, in a hotel room in Yangon, tweet about checking in for a flight at 4.07am? We can contort this (massive jet lag etc) to make it work, but Occam's Razor suggests that there was no Yangon, and Phil tweeted just after checking in for his flight from the Persian Gulf to Bandung.

Two: Why would teams need to go via Bangkok to get to Singapore, and waste the evening sleeping in an (albeit awesome) airport when they could just do this:
AK 1425 from Yangon to Kuala Lumpur: 26/1645-2100
QZ 8458 from Kuala Lumpur to Bandung, 2250-2355

Hence I'm going to disregard Yangon, and stay with this until more evidence comes up.
Updated at race end (2 Jul 2013):
9 Jun: Start, Los Angeles
10 Jun: Leg 1, Iquique
11 Jun: Leg 2A, Iquique (strange set-up!)
12 Jun: Leg 2B, Santiago

15 Jun: Leg 3, Lisbon
16 Jun: *Phil in Svolvaer*
17 Jun: Leg 4, Svolvaer
18 Jun: *Phil in Gdansk*
19 Jun: Leg 5, Gdansk
20 Jun: *Phil in Vienna*
21 Jun: Leg 6, Vienna
22 Jun: *Phil in Abu Dhabi*
23 Jun: Leg 7, Abu Dhabi
24 Jun: Leg 8, Abu Dhabi
25 Jun: *Phil travels*
26 Jun: *Phil in Bandung*
27 Jun: Leg 9, Bandung
28 Jun: Leg 10, Bandung
29 Jun: *Phil travels*
30 Jun: *Phil in Tokyo*
1 Jul: Leg 11, Tokyo

It breaks my heart too, but I agree, There are too many inconsistencies here, it is impossible to tell when this person actually saw Phil. And not sure he would have time for "many" convos about Myanmar during a race. Possibly this happened earlier?

Neobie, the dating went from 30 June to 1 June, you meant July. I think you would also want to note the crossing of the International Date Line as to there being 2 days with the same date.
