Is crossing the Kanchanaburi-Burma border still smooth for visa purposes?

It's still a good place to go for a 30 day visa exempt entry OR to activate another entry on a valid multi-entry visa.

Unless I'm wrong it's 950 to get lugged across the border stamped in and out of burma and then get stamped back into thailand.

Tracy, I went last Wednesday drove my own car from Hua Hin, Really simple crossing, though the set up has changed slightly, Once I had parked at the carpark and Just before you walk to the departure counter(Thailand counter) the is a small kiosk on the left there a lady will assist you with everything (960Thb) including the short drive to Myanmar & the small fee you must pay for not overnighting in Myanmar, just wait in the the small cafe for the driver, once back on Thai soil nothing has changed quick stamp in and all done, Really simple, Hope this helps.
