Anyone have any current news about state of play for the Phu Nam Ron crossing ?

 

I usually use this for my Non imm O, have seen in other posts this may not be possible anymore.

 

Anyone confirm or advise.

 

Thank You in advance

Latest reports are that you cannot do the crossing unless you have a visa for Myanmar.  Myanmar immigration has stopped doing  border passes at that crossing.

Thanks for quick reply Joe.

 

If anyone has tried can they let me know and give confirmation. My run due towards end of month so looks like it may be back to bangkok and phoipet. (Gutted)

 

Kind Regards

I did a run at Mae Sot 2 weeks back and asked them in the Burma side office about this story; and they hadn't heard there was any requirement for a visa there.

this is a bit confusing. the Phu Nam Ron crossing  is to my knowledge in Kantchanburi/Cambodia (tell me if I am wrong), and not in Myanmar.

the title of this topic also mentions Kanchanaburi.

I am going there next week to extend my "non O" visa and was told today by the travel agent I use, that there is no problem.

3 hours to go there, 45 minutes waiting at the border (doing some duty free shopping) and then 3 hours back to Pattaya (with lunch served half way).

 

good luck

You are confusing this crossing with one in Chanthaburi province also know as Ban Pakard or Palin or rarely Pong Nam Ron which is the district where the crossing is located.

Phu Nam Ron (Thailand) and Htee Khee (Myanmar) is the border at Kanchanaburi.  Not  Cambodia.
