Hi, does anyone know if the Mae Sot-Myawaddy border crossing is open? It is the closest one to where I live for a border run.

Answer summary

Yes, the Mae Sot-Myawaddy border crossing is open for foreigners for border runs. There are currently no negative COVID tests, vaccination proof, or visa requirements to cross into Burma. You only need to pay a 500 baht fee on the Burmese side for a stamp in and out.

The Mae Sot/Myawaddy border crossing DID indeed open a while back for foreigners to bounce out and back at for 500 baht,

There is no negative covid test, or proof of vax required, nor do you need a visa to burma to use it.

Just show up, stamp out of thailand, pay the burmese side 500baht stamp in and out of burma and come right back.

thanks Tod, I have been taking notice of what has been happening in the area. I did read about three weeks ago that the border crossing was closed for a short time because of the fighting. Was just trying to get confirmation that it was definitely open or not.
