Kawthaung Border Run

Has anyone done this recently? What's the process after boarding the boat of stamping in and out of Burma and how much do you pay them?

no idea why a link about mae sot was posted regarding  a question about Kawthaung?

You clear thai immigration , pay for ur boat seat ( 200-300 baht) 
$10 ( make sure no rips, tears) for the Burmese stamp in and out
30 minute  boat  ride each way

OR you can stay up to 14 days in Kawthaung ( its interesting for a day or 2, especially if u hire a boat for the day and go exploring) 

Enjoy>>

I did the trip to Burma out of Ranong just prior to Covid, it was quite straight forward. Pay the fee for the boat ride and the service, clear customs at the Ranong port and about 30 mins later you arrive at a small island with a casino, pay a fee, get your passport stamped & a  30 minute ride back to the Ranong Port. The entire process took less than 2 hours. It wasn't actually Kawthaung itself, I remember on the boat ride we looked across at Kawthaung town which was probably 5 - 6 miles away, it was a hazy day so a little hard to establish an accurate distance.

u can travel to the casino ( Andaman club ) on its own island OR Kawthaung town.
They do not leave from the same Pier

different  boat ( casino boat is aircon) and expense, I have read the boat ( return)  and stamp for Burma,  to the casino is like 2,500 baht++
