kiwiocker Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I'm doing (another) border run to Mae Sot this weekend. The Burma authorities allow you to stay in Myawaddy for the day. My Thai girlfriend who doesn't have a passport would like to come and spend the day in Burma also. Does anyone know if this is possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravelrash Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I took a girlfriend to Mae Sai, she had no passport but just filled in a form at immigration and went into Burma with me for some border shopping. Would assume Mae Sot the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seonai Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Well I took my son to Ranong for a border crossing to Victoria Point in Burma and he wasn't allowed to come to Burma so I had to get friends to look after him on the Thai side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asiaworld Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Any thai citizen can get 'border pass'(costs 50 baht or so) with the ID card>no passport needed . Except , it may be a bit tricky in Mae Sot,unless you're driving> as opposed to other crossings immigration for border pass issuance is located a couple of km. before the border next to the airport. On the other hand naka may have a point .. When i went there i alays wondered, what whas that compelling urge with foreigners to prefer thai women, while for example burmese, are in no way inferior (if not otherwise ) . Beer's cheap, hotels are there & btw.. i think Burmese do allow you to stay upto 2 weeks there > at least , thats what their passport looking visa booklet says>the one you get for your 500 baht fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g00dgirl Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I had a Thai person come with me at Ranong, no passport, just had to fill in a form before leaving the Thai side and pay a small fee, have the form stamped over there and pay a small fee again and no problems.

chanman Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 A little off topic, however I was in Surin last year visiting family had no passport with me but 500 baht to the border guard and we all nipped accross the border at Chong Chom for a few hours at the market, I was a little concerned about getting back bit not a problem.
