Good morning guys and girls. Question please.. has anyone done a visa run from Ranong to Kawthoung? Had my DTV 2 years, will be in Ranong later this month. Is it just a simple boat there and back? Need a Myanmar visa before hand or just stamped in and out? Thanks in advance.
Summary so far
The inquiry seeks clarification on the process of making a visa run from Ranong, Thailand, to Kawthoung, Myanmar. The user has a DTV visa and is wondering if the journey involves a simple boat trip and whether they need to secure a visa for Myanmar beforehand or can simply get stamped in and out at the border.
