I am new to this group chat, and would greatly appreciate any insight from those of you living in Mae Sot (or who have traveled there recently).
My family has been to Mae Sot for the past three years and have had no difficulty with freedom to travel within and between towns (though, of course, there were several check points - but never any difficulty). We plan to return to Mae Sot early January and have been reading in this group chat about some disconcerting traveling restrictions.
As of now, has any foreigner had (or heard of a foreigner having) difficulty traveling in Mae Sot or between towns surrounding Mae Sot ? Is it true that a Thai Guarantor is now absolutely required? Or is that requirement inconsistently applied? Has anyone heard of a foreigner being detailed and/or not allowed to enter into Mae Sot without a Guarantor?
Thank you kindly for any and all your responses. We greatly appreciate it.
