yes, I normally fly out to other countries for DTV. But, the thing is I want to travel to Kawthong.

If I used airport, the trip would be BKK-YGN-Kawthong-YGN-BKK, that’s a risk of not able to fly out from YGN airport.

Im not from Myanmar but this is is my experience there;

They need all the same paperwork you needed when you applied DTV..

And if you bring all that.. they need more documents.

They wont stamp you out of Thailand if they’re not letting you back in.

It is recommended to use those agents that approach you when you wander there, they seem to work well together with Thai immigration there..
