any bodyknows if MAE SAI border to Tachilek is open .was cmosed 2 weeks ago

Is the Mae Sot border open to foreigners for border bounce?

Hello, is the Mae Sai border open to foreigners to exit Thailand and re-enter?

Hello. Probably somebody else already asked about this but I can't find the thread.

In Denmark I got a 60 day thai visa (+30).

I hear that the + 30 can be given without going out of the country just by going to the immigration.

Is it true?

And since probably I might need an extra 20 days.

Will I get 30 days if I walk at the Mae Sai borde( CR) or any other border?

I remember that at one point they were only giving 15 days if by foot.

Thank you in advance. 🙏

Posted this on another local group But thought I’d ask here as have had good assistance here before… i was asked recently by visiting friend in bkk who is here now, if you can do land border crossing at Chiangsean border since maesai border been closed to tourists now for weeks due to “unrest” happening there 😔

Has anyone crossed here recently? Im getting mixed consensus if only for ( local/ non foreign) crossing

Any other suggestions for a quick land crossing border?

Firsthand experience, appreciated

Thank you in advance👍🏼

First I would like to thank everyone in this group for sharing valuable information. I just want to say that Mae Sai border is open again, I got 45 days. There is an option to stay 14 days in Myanmar in the area of Tachileik. Have a good day everyone.

Any new info on Mae Sai/Myanmar border??

The last info I read had it that it is a more complicated process than it used to be..in that one also has to collect and pay for transit permissions on Thai side even before exit , then as used to be..enter briefly , pay for Myanmar visa then cross back to thai side..

BTW...this is for an already initiated multi entrance visa..and will go to Chiang Khong/Huaixai as I had before if there are complications on Mai Sai route.

Today the Thai-Myanmar border crossing of Mae Sai reopened. It appears to be the first "proper" land border reopening that should allow foreigners and Thais to pass, without being restricted to the border town or a border run (for certain foreign nationalities). However, it is noted that Covid restrictions apply on the Myanmar side and will apply for at least one month before they are re-evaluated. Everyone, Thais and foreigners will need either proof of vaccination or a Covid rapid antigen test done within 48 hours and this proof must be printed out. No electronic copies accepted. Another rapid antigen test will be performed on arrival in Tachilek at a cost of 15000 Myanmar Kyat. Only one day pass holders are exempted from the on arrival test. It is not known whether foreigners, who request a one day pass will be exempted or if this only applies to Thais holding border passes.

The link is only in Thai. I'm sure English language media will soon have their own versions, but they're usually delayed by a day or two.

Hi,

has anyone actually made a border bounce at Mae Sai Border?

Has it been reopened last month?
