The officer may have stamped you incorrectly, but It’s your responsibility to check your passport entry stamps. If you had you could have had it corrected free of charge.

I think he just worded it badly Steve.

The bus takes about 10 minuets to cross the boarder but it’s a dirt road that’s a bit up and down, not sure of actual distance.

It crosses stops by a duty free shop they take your passport get stamps and pay the fee to enter Myanmar, then drive you back. Fee is probably $10 so the rest of the 960.- is for the bus ride.

I did it a couple of months ago. Not a bad trip just 3 and half hours from BKK.

That fee is for the bus across the boarder and back. They also take care of stamping in and out of Myanmar.

No other options at that boarder.

Requests in before 11am so get there as early as you can.

Pickup next working day after 1pm

Yes they’re closed on weekends.

Only a suggestion if it’s a short trip.

If he’s moving there permanently the. He needs to go him self.

IF you’re very concerned you could book a room in a local hotel and then they are responsible for reporting your stay.

It’s only one Fine of 1,600.-

It should be paid by the home owner, but good luck with that.

How long you staying there?

Ok so you can use The Samutprakarn office located at Pak Nam.

The first time you use this office they will ask for your TM30

If you or your landlord did not do the TM30 when you arrived they might fine you 1600.-

You could plead ignorance as it’s your first time but then that’s up to the officer.
