stretch5163 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch5163 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallangpakwan Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaisabai Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 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 thaisabai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Cambodia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
