Hi,
I'm currently investigating crossing Myanmar overland around April/ May of 2014.
So far all sources have indicated that you can cross into Burma from Thailand at four points which allow onward travel.
- Mae Sot / Myawaddy (preferred)
- Mae Sai / Tachileik
- Phunaron / Htee Kee
- Ranong / Kawthaung
It seems you can then travel independently as far as Mandalay but traveling further - anywhere near the Indian / China borders; requires special permission.
I'm wanting to cross into India at the Tamu / Moreh checkpoint but this requires special government permission and possibly a guide.
I've been in contact with a travel agent in Yangon, but they require a detailed itinerary (which I don't yet have) and are reluctant to provide the permissions services without committing to book all accommodation etc through them.
If anyone has further information on this or will be traveling the same way I'd certainly like to hear from them
Cheers,
Tim
