Can anyone confirm that the Ranong border is closed? I heard that the Grand Andaman club is now not open which is where I would get the boat to and was a very simple process.

Is there another way or can not due to the unrest in Myanmar?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Ranong border remains open for crossings into Kawthaung, despite recent reports about the Grand Andaman club being closed and related unrest in Myanmar. Travelers confirm that the border is functioning normally, and alternatives for travel are still available.

 just some random posts. I heard that 1500 staff were laid off from the grand andaman hotel. I also want to make sure it’s safe to go with everything that’s going on in Myanmar right now. So as far as you’re aware it’s open and business as usual?
