Is Ranong the only option for a border run into Myanmar, and what is the status of Mae Sot and Mae Sai?

i’ve allready done one, malasia ia double the distance

We're definitely going to try this - a bit of a drive from Hua Hin but we are looking forward to seeing parts of Thailand that we haven't seen before. My final Q is this,: I have been searching online for a list of the docs we need to have with us. I have read lots of interesting anecdotal stories but nothing particularly current . As far as I can make out, I should have the following docs with me; passport, proof of flight home,thb and $10-20 dollars? Obviously we'll need cash for the ferry and we also have our Covid certificates. Is there anything else we should have with us? We also have extra photos and copies of our passports and our proof of residence in HH. Do you think that will be enough? I know it's a long drive, but it's a little birthday trip for me. If for any reason it doesn't work,we still have time to drive to Malaysia,but we'd honestly prefer not to. Thank you again for your help and advice. 😁

Also,as we have a METV, will we definitely get the 60 days added? Thank you again.

@Nigel ********

he's explained several times land borders closed to foreigners, only Ranong open going over by boat.

@Lynnette ******

but not for foreigners?

@Julie *********

not sure what you're asking. "Not for foreigners"?

@Lynnette ******

according to Brandon he says that all land borders are closed to foreigners yet Richard Reitman suggests that the boat crossing is extremely easy. Does that mean we could go across for the day to renew our Visa? Yes I know we can fly to wherever and we're lucky that we've been to most other neighbouring countries,we just fancied going on a road trip this time. And Ranong was one of the places mentioned. But if it's definitely not possible, we'll make a different plan. Thank you.

@Julie *********

Ranong is not a land border. It's over water. You go by boat. It's open to foreigners for border bounce.

@Lynnette ******

its open to farangs also if u have a visa an than you can fly north to other places in Burma> BUT u cant travel overland

@Richard ********

it's been said already that Ranong is open for ferang border bounce but land borders are not.

@Lynnette ******

thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate that. Many thanks 🙏

@Julie *********

hope you enjoy the road trip. There's info somewhere on what to have, and what to do, to get over to Ranong.

@Daniele **********

how many times do you need to be told there is no other land border option with Myanmar?

@Brandon ***********

some people are dense in the head.

@Daniele **********

Brandon knows his stuff. If he doesn't know he will say so.

@Daniele **********

when people click the like button, like six people did on Brandon's comment, that means they agree with him, just like 6 other people saying the same thing. You are aware of that right?

@Daniele **********

I live in Mae Sai, the border here is closed for foreigners.

@Daniele **********

don't people do 90 day reports on line and only go to immigration 1 time a year? Seems easier than what you've been doing for a very long time.

@Daniele **********

you could have got multi entry visa, but you've done exempt, border bounce etc and aren't you choosing Ranong to bounce again? Seems very time consuming.
