with only 4 days i would spend the whole time in yangon and maybe a quick trip to bagan...time will not allow much more...thai air has good flights to yangon from bkk

Bago is magical for the photographer but so is Yangon, etc. Yangon's famous Swedagon Pagoda is amazing! About an hours drive is Bago. I would visit Bago's Schwemawdaw Pagoda & the Shwethalyaung Reclining Buddha. Stay at the Pansea Hotel in Yangon. Have a drink in the bar of the Strand.

Read the trip report I just filed. My suggestion is beyond any doubt to go to Bagan for two days and spend one day in Yangon. If you have a fourth day to effectively visit, go to Bago, where the most beautiful reclining buddha is. Bago is a full two hours drive though. Bagan can be reached by plane quite easily. I have found Yangon Airways very reliable.
Good travels
