About Myawaddy
At some point, this is expected to be a full international border crossing as part of the Asian Highway Network route AH1 which will connectTokyoinJapanwith the border betweenTurkeyandBulgaria. In July 2015, the part between Kawkareik and Myawaddy opened. Myawaddy is a moderately popular destination for tourists and expats in Thailand who want to make a "visa run", i.e. get a new Thai entry permit stamp by making a short visit to another country. Many western foreigners receive a 30-day entry permit when re-entering Thailand. Other nationalities even receive 90 days. However, for western foreigners no visa-on-arrival is available on the Myanmar side. The time in Myanmar is 30 minutes earlier than in Thailand, and the traffic drives on the right.
