I don't care if they view each other as brothers or family.

You take it out of proportion again.

I stand by the fact:

for·eign·er:

a person born in or coming from a country other than one's own.

INFORMAL

a person not belonging to a particular place or group; a stranger or outsider.

And I never said this is not correct.

All I am saying is a Thai is a foreigner in Maynmar. You cannot invent languages and the meaning of words new only because a burmese immigration officer considers me as foreigner but the thai citizen not.

The thai clearly is a foreigner too

@Paul ******
It only means certain foreigners are allowed to cross the border.Obviously Thais. Near India probably indians too

Sir please don't take it out of proportion

@Paul ******
Yes they have different entry rules. Different pricing whatever... you name it.

Still does not void the fact a thai citizen is a foreigner in Myanmar. Unless she or he got dual citizenship.

It is you correcting me. Google is your friend.

Google what the word foreigner means
Marc ********
@Paul ******
And yet any citizen to be located in any other country he or she is not citizen of is a foreigner by means.

Regardless of your skills writing long texts or how thai or burmese authorities operate.

Period

All I am or was saying is Thais are foreigners in Myanmar.

I didn't say they cannot go to Myanmar

If you want to be picked up it will most likely be expensive. Like 45$ yes.

I just cross the border... then they will approach me. Asking me where I go.

I say Siem Reap. Then the negotiation starts.

If you take a collective taxi with locals it is 10$ per person going SR.

But not easy to find such taxi as I don't speak Khmer.

But I tell the guys approaching me offering me taxi I will pay 20$ to SR.

Take it or leave it.

So far they always took it

It will still be a collective taxi with other people in it.

But paying them 10$ extra for finding a taxi for me is not such a big deal

Yes technically you can be punished for it.
