PattayaPhom, most Burmese vehicles have their steering wheels on the right side too and the only reason they drive on the right to begin with is some idiotic dictator back in 1970 decided to consult a fortune teller who told him to "move right". So he did. oldsailor35, Thai cars can travel in/out of Mae Sot to Myawady for the day only, no more than 12km inside the country without getting special permission. At Mae Sai, they can travel around Tachilek only without restrictions for up to 14 days. Otherwise, you'll need to go on a tour. It appears there is a tour running almost every week or two, crossing from either Phu Nam Ron or Mae Sot into Myanmar. To conduct a tour, get in touch with a Thailand or Myanmar based agent (the Thai ones are cheaper and more experienced). Look at the Myanmar forum as there is a thread discussing this very topic right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaPhom Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I thought it was about the same time they changed, Rangoon-Yangon and moved inland about 8 years ago. Interesting if because of a fortune teller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
