I am at Pu Nam Ron now and the Burmese side is closed and they won't let you pass.

Answer summary

The Pu Nam Ron border crossing is currently closed due to restrictions related to the fight against a virus, which has led to the closure of several key checkpoints including the Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge in Tak. This closure is expected to last until at least April 3.

Key checkpoints to temporary shut are the first Thai-Mayanmar Friendship Bridge in Tak, which will be closed until further notice. The Phu Nam Ron and Three Pagodas passes linking Kanchanaburi and Myanmar will be shut from Saturday to April 3. On the eastern front, Ban Khao Din in Sa Kaeo, opposite Cambodia, which will be closed from Monday to April 5.

Wait, the Burmese side is closed? As in, they are not letting any traffic (both fright and people) through?
