So does this allow a side trip into Myanmar while exploring Thailand

The two land borders mentioned here are both between Myanmar and Thailand. (And #5 is actually a seacrossing from the thai town of Ranong)
Which means there are no land borders open for foreigners between India and Myanmar. Which again means no overland travels are possible for the moment.
We can only hope that India - Myanmar land borders opens up soon too so that overlanding through SE-Asia will be possible. In the meantime I wouldnt hold my breath….

So, if one had the appropriate visas/carnet etc etc and was spending a few months in Thailand would it be viable to do an overland side trip either from
4. Myawaddy Land Border Checkpoint
to
5. Kawthaung Land Border Checkpoint
or vice versa?
You mentioned that Kawthaung is actually a sea-crossing between Myanmar and Thailand. Does it have a RORO vehicle ferry that would accomodate a BMW R 1250 GSA?
Thanks.
