thaiman,

You are not writing in the German,

Tip-forum? I saw there also the same name and there is also a discussion about your question.

Anyway,

I was once, many years ago in Kauwthung, a dusty border village with many guides waiting for the travelers.

If you want buy some things, duty free style than you can there.

The normal stuff and as I hear also fake Viagra and the Indian copys, Kamagra, ect.

I was told that, the Thai border police-custom check and surch sometimes the boats travellers come back from Myanmar.

Without shopping intention you can cut the trip short at the Myanmar border office and come back Thail. without entering Kauwth.

Price, I think 10 US for the Myanmar visa and for the boat trip, sharedboat 100 B. Your own boat 3-400 B.?

Have now also bigger regular boats.

I usualy use the trip to the Andaman casino Hotel on a private Island

Boats run from a different Pier-Andaman Pier.

More easy and exclusive, but costs including all 800.- B.

Also possible to sleep there, the big Pool, Sauna and fitness room you have seldom to share with somebody.

You get a 150 or 250 B.? Discount on the 800 B. and rooms are sometimes discounted to 1.-1.600 B.

Is also a ship to Kauwthung from there, but if not enough people want to go, an expensive trip-you pay the whole boat than alone, 2.000 B.?

Andaman club has a 24 hour casino and slot machines ect.

If you have the money worth the trip.

Hassle, same everywhere.

Cost of the boat to Andaman club is 850 Baht now. The last time I booked a room in The Andaman Club it was 3100 Baht. Maybe this is peak season price, I remember booking people in there for 2000+ Baht not so long ago. If you show the boat ticket you get a 150 Baht discount on the room price.
