Good Day,
I'm looking to get from Chiang Mai to Bagan via Mai Sai crossing and Mandalay Air. Is it possible to get an regular visa at Mai Sai. the only references I've come across are the visa limited to Tachiliek.
Thanks

Royalsithu,
Regarding the visa..thanks. My apologies to the board as I was being lazy and found the info with a little more digging.
As for getting from Chiang Mai to Bagan or Mandalay....what I was looking at was a bus from Chiang Mai to the border at Mai Sai. Cross to Tachiliek and then catch an Air Mandalay flight to Tachiliek=>Mandalay (daily flights per their website).
Assuming Air Mandalay is reliable, and if I had a visa in advance, this route seems maybe easier than Chiang Mai=>Bangkok=>Yangon=>Mandalay.
Anyone done this, or the reverse which might be even easier?

As far as I'm aware you'll be restricted to the immediate area around Mai Sai/Tachiliek up to as far as Keng Tung.

Hi! We can't say all of Myanmar airlines are reliable .
If you enter to Myanmar from another place ( expect Yangon ) , you will be get only 7 days or 14 days Visa . And you have to leave your passport at border immigration . So , that way is very risk .
I would like to recommend the second way ( Chaing Mai - Bangkok - Yangon - Mandalay ) .

From all my recent research there is no way you are going to cross the border at Mai Sae without leaving your passport at immigration ( to ensure you return same day). Hopefully, despite the military regime, border crossings for foreigners will be allowed in the near future.
