Myanmar


My Thailand visa expired on 24th January, so I made the trip by motorbike to Mae Sai on the border with Myanmar. For 250 Baht, you can cross into Tachilek in Myanmar and stay there until 5pm. Myanmar is a lot poorer than Thailand, and Tachilek had a thriving black market for all sorts of goods. On return to Thailand, I was automatically issued with a new visa for 30 days, free of charge.
