Is the Myanmar border crossing closed to foreigners for a border bounce?

Myanmar Border Visa Waiver Travel Restrictions

ORIGINAL POSTER

Did any of the people heading to Ban Phu Nam Ron this morning successfully do their border bounce? I just got off the night train from Surat Thani to Bangkok, in my attempt to go straight there. I've since read Myanmar's land crossings are closed to foreigners :/ is this true?

(UK passport, visa waiver extension expires 21/3)

TLDR : Answer Summary

The comments confirm that the Myanmar border crossing at Ban Phu Nam Ron is indeed closed to foreigners, thus making it impossible for anyone, including those with a UK passport, to carry out a border bounce. Users advise against attempting this crossing as it has been officially reported as closed.

Since we know the Kanchanburi/ Myanmar border is closed, I'm going to close commenting.
