Any update on the border crossing times at Mae Sai? I heard it changed recently. Also, is it OK to still get two visa exempt land crossings per year? Many thanks

Nothing has changed at border. TWO visa exempt in one calendar year. Only Embassies nearby take a closer look at any ones visa application.
