I was there a few weeks ago. It is possible to take your own car. Also there is a parking area and a visa and transport service at the border which is very convenient and not too expensive. They never asked to see funds or onward ticket.

The bus or minivan to Kanchanaburi is easy and quick. From the new South bus station. The bus from Kanchanaburi to the border is a very old, very slow bus. Maybe there is a minivan or taxi.

As long as you don't have TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by land this year you're okay to border bounce there. :)

Yes. It took about 30 minutes total. There are two very small shops ( tin shacks ) to buy alcohol and cigarettes and some other things.

I had a visa exempt stamp which had been extended at an immigration office in Thailand, for thirty days. I stamped out of Thailand and into Myanmar. Then back into Thailand on a new thirty day visa exempt stamp. This is not a visa.

The 900 baht fee also includes your visa for entry to Myanmar and the minivan ride. It is possible to arrange to take your vehicle into Myanmar, at the border point if you have the correct paperwork.

You cant take a Thai car into Myanmar, without approval in advance. Much easier drive to Phu Nam Ron, park your car. Exit Thailand, there is a small shop on the left past the border checkpoint. Pay them 900 baht and give them your passport. Wait for the next minivan to take you to the Myanmar checkpoint. Whole process takes around 1 hour.

The road in Thailand is new and good condition. As you enter Myanmar there is a distinct change to a dirt track. And a very cheap fuel station.
