Mae Sot

Featured Replies

Hi

I'm heading there this weekend. Anyone can recommend a VIP32 bus company from Bangkok? Anyone aware of any problems with the border crossing from/to Thailand currently?

Thanks

I used to do my exit-re-entry trips at Mae Sot/Myawaddy regularly. At that time one paid the Burmese immigration side 500 baht for their stamps. You can look around Myawaddy town. There are a couple of interesting temples, not much more. If you already have a Burmese visa you may be able to travel further inland and avoid the 500 baht fee.

For buses http://thairoute.com/homepage/ is a Thai website for most Bus lines. If you can't use their Thai language website you can call them to make a booking and get your seat number and pay at 7-11. The VIP buses are usually sold out by the day of departure.

What are you wanting to do at the crossing.

just utilise my 3 rd entry on my Tourist Visa which expires on the 14th. I assume still $10 for the Burma visa. i appreciate my OP wasn't the most articulate, but was just wondering if any current problems etc...

Few VIP busses to Mae Sot, but also depedns a lot on if you want to travel by day or by night.

I believe the transport company has a VIP bus, more info on their webiste. You csn also try Thai ticket major for some VIP bus-options.

It should not be any problem to use your 3rd entry as long as you are doing it on or before the enter before date on your visa.

It is still $10 or 500 baht for the border pass.

I have to say, there are many border crossings nearer than Mae Sot to Myanmar, could save you a lot of time.
