  1. I can only speak about what occurred previously, not what may be happening now or soon - but in the past each trip to Myanmar using a min-visa was considered an exit to a foreign country and then a return (killing a single re-entry permit).
  2. OneZero... 1. Travel within the Tachileik economic zone (the Town and the areas surrounding it, including the resorts, golf courses, casinos, and night clubs to the East of the downtown) was previously permitted on a day pass (when those were available years ago) or a mini-Visa that was obtained from the Myanmar Immigration police at the border. Overnight stays at hotels in the zone were permitted. Travel outside the zone required a Myanmar Visa and hired transport (including a guide). I don't know if this will be the case now as I haven't been there in 3 years since before the border closed, but I assume those requirements will not have changed. The Myanmar consulate in CM should be able to provide that information.
  3. It has been suggested that this information get it's own topic, so... The Mae Sai / Tachileik border crossing has reopened (confirmed). According to officials both Thai and foreigners can obtain "temporary passes" to cross into Tachileik for tourism/shopping. This is as yet unconfirmed by myself. If that is true, and the passes are similar to what Thai citizens have enjoyed before everything closed-up (but not available to foreigners then), it will be a huge step forward.

  5. I second ThaiPauly's recommendation. He is excellent.
  6. Just got back from Mae Sai (we live not far away). I can confirm that the border IS still closed and is unlikely to open in the immediate future. The 2nd Bridge crossing from Mae Sai to Taschliek is open to Thai/Myanmar day-traffic commercial traffic only. No tourist or pedestrian traffic permitted - period.
  7. Write down what you want to happen if you pre-decease her. Then have that OFFICIALLY certified or translated. Then take those documents, along with your foreigner ID (Passport or pink card) to the local Amphur office closest to you and have your will registered. Costs 20B., and it IS a formal legal document.
  8. Anyone have experience with repair of a windshield rock chip (with three small cracks coming from it).
  9. Instead of asking whether the low-cost option is "too cheap", perhaps some of you should be asking if their high-cost options are too expensive. My cost (2 eyes, one month apart) was 25,000 per eye.
  10. Her name is Khun Vannee. The name of the clinic is Jaksu Patana.
  11. This is what really irritates me! I was advised last week that I won 300,000Baht in a Kasikorn Bank give-away. There were NO hidden requirements - only to let them know where to send the money. Ignored. Two days later, another message from the same people/person saying they are having trouble sending the money as my bank isn't accepting their transfer. Cope of an "attempted transfer receipt" from Kasicorn Bank Thailand included (no, actual name). Ignored. One week later - a pleading message: "My boss is very angry that I cannot send you our prize money of 3,000,000 kip. Please send me your account number and password for the Yoma Bank and I will send it immediately." Damn. Though I was rich. Guess I should has responded when it was still the Kasicorn Bank...................
  12. 14 + years ago. Walking around the moat with my wife. Pun Pun's establishment. Stopped for a bit. Seems we never left. Good Luck in the future.
  13. Maybe the OP doesn't know that most ambulances are operated by non-profit, volunteer groups who also don't change for their services.
