Anybody know if tachilek , myanmar border is open for visa runs?

Answer summary

The Tachilek border with Myanmar is currently closed to foreigners due to ongoing civil unrest and has been since 2020. While some individuals have reportedly managed to perform visa runs via other routes, such as by boat near Ranong, the majority face restrictions at land borders.

I know people who did a visa run to Myanmar last week. They did this close to Ranong. They went by boat from Thailand to Myanmar and back.
