In reply to Emma. Nope! You only need to apply for a visa if you are entering further into Burma -- to just do a border run none is required. Good luck!

I’m thinking I may have to take the same visa run from Koh Tao. Just wondering, did you need to apply for a visa to cross the Burma boarder?

In reply to Ryan. I will indeed be curious to see what happens. Hopefully this will force dive shops to have to start ponying up for more work permits!

That actually looks like a much more interesting visa run to Myanmar than the Mai Sai border trip that I’m used to.
Now that the Immigration department is clamping down and refusing out-and-in entries to those with a bunch of stamps in their passports, I wonder how all those people on Kah Tao will manage to stay.
Or will all the diving instructors just disappear from Thailand?

In reply to Vanessa @ Sauteed Happy Family. Yeah, clearly they aren't being too strict on that one... I see hippies every which way I look in this country! :)

Oh my goodness— I can’t stop laughing about the sign barring foreigners “who look like hippies” from entering the “Kingdom”! That’s making it to the top of my favorite Engrish list!
