Anyone do the Mae Sai Border run recently?
My question is: do I need proof of 20k, onward flight, hotel reservation, and or anything else?
Or is it just get to the border, pay the $10 or 500 baht to Burma, have a look at the market and return to Thailand for the 30 day exempt?
Cheers.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The Mae Sai border run allows travelers to gain a 30-day visa exemption by briefly entering Myanmar and returning to Thailand. Recent experiences suggest that you do not need to provide proof of 20,000 THB, an onward flight, or a hotel reservation; simply paying the fee (500 THB or $10) and returning is typically sufficient. Bring your passport and enjoy the brief visit at the border.
