About Travel to Thailand


Myawaddy is on the border with Thailand. The border crossing is a 1.4 km walk away from the Myawaddy Mandalar Minn Express Bus Station. After getting stamped out of Myanmar it is a 10 minute walk across the Thai Myanmar Friendship Bridge to reach Thai Immigration. Once you have passed through Thai Immigration control it is then a 4 km journey to either Mae Sot Bus Station or Mae Sot Airport, which are close to each other. To get from Thai Immigation to the bus station you can either take a tuk-tuk, for which you will be asked to pay from 100 to 150 THB, or you can take a shared taxi on the route from the border into Mae Sot town which will cost you 20 THB per person as far as the bus station.
