Are Health Insurance and Medical Certificates Required for a Border Run from Mae Sai for British Citizens?
First want to thank the people responding so quickly to these messages!
Can anyone tell me if you have done the border run from Mae Sai the last day or two... I'm a british citizen. Are they requiring med cert and insurance? Article hasn't mention Brits needing to.

Answer summary
A British citizen inquired about the latest requirements for a border run from Mae Sai, particularly regarding health insurance and medical certificates.

The land border at Mae Sai - Tachiliek has stopped allowing people to bounce out and back by buying a day pass (500baht/$10USD) and now require a person to hold a valid VISA to Myanmar BEFORE you can stamp out and back at that border.
This is the link to BUY an eVISA for Myanmar.
UNLESS you are from a country that gets visa free entry to Myanmar you CANNOT bounce at Mae Sai -Tachiliek without getting a visa to Myanmar before hand.
Thanx go to Charlie Brennan for this information. He was the FIRST foreigner turned away when they started the policy :O
