From Thailand in Tachileik
From Thailand in Tachileik
It is possible to enter Myanmar at the Mae Sai border post. A 14 day visa is US$10 or 500 Baht. Note, if your US$10 is not in pristine condition, the authorities will not accept it. They really want 500 Baht instead since it is worth US$16. The visa is only good for the Tachilek-Kengtung area and is not valid for travel to other parts of Myanmar. Be warned that the Myanmar Immigration authorities will hold on to your passport for the duration of your stay in the country giving you an entry permit instead. You will get your passport back on crossing back over to Thailand. Holders of a normal one-month Myanmar visa cannot use it to enter at Mae Sai. Be sure that you have the appropriate travel documents to re-enter Thailand at Mae Sai, you will only be able to get a 15 day entry pass into Thailand rather than the usual 30 day one that you get at the airport. If you have an actual visa and want to keep it, remember to get a re-entry permit in advance.
In case you are a Thai citizen, you can make a temporary border pass in Chiang Rai for 30 baht. All you need is your bat prachachon (ID card).
