Crossing the border between Mae Sot, Thailand and Myawaddy, Myanmar and walking over the Friendship Bridge. It's an easy crossing but you have to get your Myanmar visa in Bangkok, Thailand first. There is no visa on arrival for Myanmar.
Second Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge to Boost Thai Exports
A Deputy Prime Minister has indicated that the second Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge will officially open on October 30th. The new bridge will help raise the value of border trade exports from the 80 billion baht to 100 billion baht.
Crossing Over, between Myawaddy, Myanmar and Mae Sot, Thailand
People migrate between Myawaddy, Myanmar and Mae Sot, Thailand. They have their reasons. Some cross via the Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge; others use the Moei River ferry boat.
This journey is for cultivating a livelihood. People do what they have to do. The trade hub area is also where migrants become entangled in labor exploitation and human rights abuses.
Still, they carry on with resilience and grace. Who are they? What are their life stories? Where are they going … as they cross over?
Even amidst their plight, they honorably carry on with resilience and grace. ...

Soon, I will be producing a documentary, perhaps called Cane Cutters' Plight, which brings you with them into the cane fields from sunrise to sunset.
Well-translated interview conversations reveal about the cane cultivation process overall and particularly about their life — revealing a bit about their history, the exploitation they endure, their working conditions, and also about their motivations, hopes and dreams.
Crossing the Thailand/Myanmar Border (Mae Sot to Myawaddy)
The land border crossing from Mae Sot, Thailand, to Myawaddy, Myanmar, is a popular one for backpackers. The crossing goes over the Friendship Bridge across a river, and the transit is as simple as hoisting your backpack and walking across the bridge.
The Myanmar side is particularly easy because downtown Myawaddy is right there on the other side of the bridge. You step out of immigration and you are right in the middle of town. There is a lot of transportation waiting for you, and you can hop on a share taxi to Hpa An or Mawlamyine or arrange a bus farther afield to Yangon and other cities.
Taking things slow, I decided to find a place to stay in Myawaddy and check out that town before moving on. As it turned out, finding a budget-friendly hotel was the biggest challenge.

How to go for cheap from Mae Sot to Burmese Thai border | Mae Sot Thailand
Mae Sot is a Thai Burmese border town. It is a small quiet town with Thai Burmese atmosphere.
There are not so many tourists reaching there, most of them are NGO volunteers and visa runners so they just cross and come back at the same day.
You can go to the border easily by catching Sang Thao which is at the corner of Mae Sot Market as you will be brought up to the border for just 20Bath per person but you have to wait until Sang Thao is full of passengers.
You can find guesthouses easily for just 200 Bath to 250 Bath per day with fan room, free wifi, warm water and TV.

I decided to hitchhike again however I wasn't alone. Two travelers joined me and we went across the border to Hpa An a cosy city in the east of Myanmar. We switched to Myanmar mode, rented motorbikes and visited some wonderful places.

My guest house in Mawlamyine (Myanmar) arranged for a share taxi to come pick me up at seven thirty in the morning. I assumed this car would pick me up and we would hit the road on our way to the border with Thailand at Myawaddy and Mae Sot. But, as always, things didn't quite work out that way.
