I'm hoping vaccine proof with less shots will be ok.

where do I look ?

Search mode doesn't bring anything up.. average 15 posts a day X 50 days. Easier to ask people who I have found are most helpful

here is a "copy and paste" of the original post, hoping am not violating group rules or original author:

Clear info about Mae Sai border. Facts, only facts !

- no maybe

- no if

- no "talked to an officer who didn't know ".

Went to the Mae Sai border,1st and only farang in line :

picture, handprint, stamped out .

Went to the Tachilek border.

Very warm welcome, from all the officers.

Picture, handprint , proof of 4 anti corona, vaccinations , 10 $US. Go through a few offices, talked to a few Myanmar officers who know what they talk about, got real infos. no "maybe but".

Stamped in , leave passport at the border, went for a little shopping.

Saw a friend who can be trusted, he told me that: very rarely he sees 1 farang per day. Usually with a thai wife coming for some shopping.

Back to the border, stamped out, got passport back .

Went to the Thai border, lined up behind 3 chinese guys coming straight from Xichuangbana.

Then usual warm welcome from thai officer, photo, handprint, 1 question: "where do you go andstay tonight". Stamped in. Came back to Thailand.

All process very smooth. Didn't see one farang during the process. Later saw very few farangs shopping in Mae Sai bazar.

-End of Copy and Paste. Good luck!
