I have read several reports lately and it seems that most travellers indeed comess through the malay-thai border without the permit/guide law that was introduced in 2016. They got a 30 days TIP as was the norm before this new nonsense permit/guide rules.

not sure about the main border crossing, but the one in the mountains at Betong is still good!

For visas I suggest you contact the emabssies or consulates of the countries you plan to travel through.
For permits there are several companies that offers this both for Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. Just search this site or google.

The First Vehicle to cross from Myanmar in to Thailand
Well it has just happened we have just got the first vehicle in to Thailand from the Myanmar/Thai border without a guide and without a permit, they are now heading towards Plodd Stop. I think this it Overlander History and it is great news.

Great news but not history
It is great to hear. They are ,maybe, dropping this ridiculous concept of insisting on an escort hopefully now they are waking up to the income generated by long term travellers in their country. Now for Myanmar to do the same, or do they have something to hide?
It is hardly history though I travelled through Thailand for nearly a year and a half no questions and no escort well before this crapp came about but hey great news I have passed it along to others coming that way.

Its great that someone came through the Mae Sot border without having the permits and guide nonsense that Thailand has halfheartedly practised since 2016 but I wouldnt bet that this will be a permanent thing tho...

Thailand in non cdp country. I don’t understand why riders are using cdp to enter Thailand. They are creating a trend that will cost a problem with overlanders without cdp. They will be making it hard for other to travel around Asia.

Here is the information about CDP countries regardless of where are you from. Thailand has relaxed the guide rules as well. Contact David Goodchild. And the benefits of other rider don’t wave cdp in front of Thailand entry port.
