TLDR : Answer Summary

The Mae Sai border crossing to Myanmar has reopened, allowing travelers to obtain a 45-day stay. Options to stay for 14 days in Myanmar are available in Tachileik and Kengtung. Travelers should check if a visa for Burma is needed beforehand or if it can be obtained at the Mae Sai border.
