Today border crossing Mae Sot (Thailand) to Myawaddy (Burma).
The border crossing was almost completely empty and unstressed. Very different to the Mae Sai crossing in the far north of Thailand.
Not many people cross here, as few make it to this town. Border guards were friendly and helpful on both sides.
I have read bad reviews of the Mae Sot crossing. Do not believe them.
No stress on the Burmese side, except the ‘India like’ traffic (more erratic than Thailand, lots of horn honking) and many stray dogs. It is much easier than Mae Sai and far less hassle.
I sat with the guys in a tea house and they were so polite and friendly.
The Burmese know how to make tea. Better than the English, better than the Thais. This is delicious.
And the ladies smile at you in the street. It makes me want to go back to Burma soon and get to know it more. Granted it is less developed than Thailand and certainly rougher around the edges. But each to their own. From what little I’ve seen, I like this land, and it’s people.
I’m coming back.
