Asking for a friend -

Can you do a border bounce at Mae Sai with no visa? I am finding conflicting information, some saying you need a visa, some saying it is fine to border bounce there with no visa. Any info would be appreciated!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Mae Sai border with Burma allows for a 30-day visa exempt entry stamp, but there are specific rules to follow. As of December 31, 2016, two visa exempt entries are allowed per calendar year at land crossings. A fee of 500 baht or a $10 USD bill is required for the stamp in and out. While technically you can get a visa exempt stamp at this border, those without a visa planning to bounce at Mae Sai should be aware of these limits.

remember though, (also since Dec 31st 2016) there is a limit of 30 day visa exempt entry stamps by land crossings of TWO in a calendar year (Jan 1 - Dec 31).

Since Dec 31st 2016 people have been able to get 30 day visa exempt stamps from the Mae Sai - Tachiliek border with burma.

It costs 500baht (or a pristing $10 USD bill) to get stamped in and out or burma.
