That's true. It is now full of Chinese in and out because of Shwe Kohko even the time of the border closed. Myawaddy is OK for the border bounce if it is allowed. It is dangerous to out from Myawaddy for now. For tourism purposes and visit, it is safe by air only and the foreigners are already allowed.
Mae Sot - Myawaddy is mainly used for border trade and other things like returning home for us than other borders because of smooth and easy to reach the mainland. Also there might be some unknown reason for opening. The rumors I heard is some political parts concerned. That's why it is opened even though unsafe.
They have been discussing to open for several times and prepared to open several times too. But the opening never happed. That's why the opening was mystery this time too. Only confirm whe we see it is open. 😅
OK, I will find out for the entering of the foreigners and will update again here.
These are still unknown. We don't even know the border would be opened today. They just open as they want without any announcement.
As far as I know we are now passing the border with temporary border pass that allow to stay in Mae Sot up to 7 days. Maybe it is opened for border trade and for us to return home. I think it is not for tourism and border bounce because it is still not safe around Myawaddy and they may not let the foreigners to enter.
