August 24, 200620 yr Burmese Immigration have raised the visa fee for entering Tachileik from USD5.00 (or 250Bt) to USD10.00 (or 500Bt) as of 1 August 2006. The Mae Sai (Chiang Rai)-Tachileik border is popular with visa runners and weekend Thai shoppers.
August 26, 200620 yr Thanks mauRice for the infomation. I have used this point of entry for a visa run in the past, and it is an easy trip. Still worth it, even if the price has doubled.
