They are open. You can ask on the Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai subforums for any details, or Google.

Mae Sot was still closed last week when I phoned and asked if it was open for visa runs.

Mae Sot has been closed for a year now and can confirm Edwinchesters post above that as of last week was still closed.

Best to phone ahead rather than potentially waste a long trip based on inaccurate info on a forum imo.

Mae Sai was open in April - can't give any more recent info than that but not aware of any reason why it wouldn't still be open.

Hi I was over at Mae Sot in April and it was definitely closed nothing was going either way and hasn't been for a while. Last time we crossed over was in Jan 2010 and then closed shortly after.
