sorry I don't have to go through such troubles . but of course everything is always possible . they can also get infos about you , just from your car's plate . so when some official wants to check about you, you're gonna tell him : hey officer if you want infos about me why don't you just check my plates ..
some hotels (not all) absolutely require your passport because they have to check the validity of your staying , so they need to check your visa . .
thos is a fact even though dome people here are gonna tell you you don't need it , and your thai drivers licence ( which is true in many cases) is enough ! those people are jerks , yoir driver's licrnce contains no informations about your visa
and yes we've known for 3 years how they make the covid test , surprising some people are still astonished to discover the technik , wonder where they've been living for the past 3 years . and it is nothing new for the burmese immigration to keep your home passport at their border . it's been like this for over 20 years in Tachilek . they usually give it back when you exit their beloved country . in exchange of your passport they give you what is internationaly known under the french word :" laisser passer" . which you'll find in dictionaries of different languages including english
you are just repeting exactly what I said . I just remind you , this topic started from a guy wandering if he could stay a week in MAE SAI . He never named TACHILEK . that's why I said previously it is innacurate ,and evrntually offensive . to mix the two different places .
I don't see why you have to remind me what I said before .
I traveled the world long enough , to never mix two sides of a border
you are treated so !!!🤣🤣🤣😍I've done tens of border runs always traveled by myself , never had any problems . even enjoyed most of them , often a way to travel different routes ...
nowadays people pretend they are travelers , when they are like baby birds not out of their nest yet . it gives teal travelers a lot of fun reading how they are always complaining
