csaba81 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) I need to do a border run. Some people say it's open for foreigners and other say it's not. Is there somewhere where the status is tabled so one can get the facts? Edited August 9, 2023 by csaba81 Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there somewhere where the status is tabled so one can get the facts I thought the Mae Sai-Tachikek border was open, but it seems it has been closed recently? Which is a drag for border runners up that way. Edited August 9, 2023 by rwilem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelerjim Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) This was POSTED on Thai Visa Advice forum on July 2nd by Tod Daniels https://m.facebook.com/groups/thaivisaadvice/permalink/3718329251824250/?mibextid=Nif5oz ATTENTION MEMBERS: Land border closures The Lao borders are open like normal The Cambodian borders are open like normal BUT we suggest you do NOT bounce out and back on your own (do so at your own risk) This is the update on Burma; The Mae Sai / Tachileik border with Burma in Chiang Rai is closed (they said for a week). The Mae Sot / Myawaddy border with Burma in Tak is closed as well. If you want to border bounce you can use the two borders with Lao in Chiang Rai province; Chiang Saen / Special Economic Zone <- where you cross in and out of Lao by boat across the Mekong or the Chiang Khong / Huay Xai border <- where you cross by bridge. Also the Phu Nam Ron / Htee Khee border with Burma in Kanachanaburi is still not open for foreigners to exit/re-enter At this time he only Burma border open is the Ranong / Kawthaung. This is provided as an announcement only. We are not going to let commenting on the post. You want to border bounce, post on a f/b group related to where you stay in thailand and ask. Believe me you're not the only foreigner in your area who needs/wants to bounce out and back.." And...AVOID POIPET BORDER CROSSING as it's VERY problematic for those who try. And... Mae Sai border crossing... It's STILL CLOSED ???? Edited August 10, 2023 by travelerjim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number is ........ +66 (0) 53731008 If you reside in the Chiang Rai and Phayao area of Lanna, the Tourist Police Office in Chiang Rai (which has a branch office opposite the Mae Sai Border Post) may be able to give advice on 1155 (free call). There is no specific number listed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
