TLDR : Answer Summary

A British citizen inquired about the latest requirements for a border run from Mae Sai, particularly regarding health insurance and medical certificates. Responses indicated that currently, no health insurance or medical certificate is needed for the border run. However, it's important to note that as of now, travelers must hold a valid visa to Myanmar to exit through Mae Sai, which affects the usual border run process.

ATTENTION MEMBERS (Especially ones in the north west)

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
