Nightlife in Chiang Rai/Mae Sai

Economical Land Transportation Options

Via Guangzhou, China

Using the high speed train/coach/private car combination is the most economical by far to head to all the shady cowboy border towns.

Guangzhou South Station 广州南站 <-> Kunming South Station 昆明南站
Travel Duration: 6 Hours, 15 Minutes
Ticket Cost: ¥480 one way

From Kunming City take a coach/private car to your final destination.

When I am old I may retire in Kunming.
Can have easy access to pussies of 4 different nationalities.

Laos
Mohan Port 磨憨口岸/Boten

Myanmar
Warning: Warlord state! No official entry. Unofficial entry only!
Daluo Port 打洛口岸/Mongla

Vietnam
Hekou Port Lianjian Center 河口瑶族自治县口岸联检中心/Lao Cai

555 looks like not much Special Forces and Cuntmando soldiers heading to all the shady cowboy border towns.

I think all very comfortable sticking to the ever price increasing Dannok?

Those punters intending to retire better do so early. Some of the mentioned destinations are no longer operating. Eg.

Laos:
Mohan/Boten
It's a ghost-town when I passed through the town on my way to Luang Nam Tha, 2 years ago
Vietnam:
Hekou Port
Vietnam Street is mostly moved to new Vietnam Village,about 4 km north
Pingxiang Yuyiguan, Puzhai
This place was reported closed by Sammyboy many, many moons ago

However, it's possible to explore a new border which is open to international travellers at Tian Bao/Thanh Thuy border.You can explore Malipo, Wenshan,China & Ha Giang, Vietnam.

PLs take note that NO questions or enquiries will be entertained.

Recent crossing from Laos to Thailand. Please note new thai immigration regulation, that as of Dec 2016 onward, Singaporeans can only do 2 land crossings in thailand per calender year.

To go to Mongla from China, go to Daluo. Can catch a long distance bus from Jinghong to Daluo (~3hrs). At Daluo bus station, catch a motorbike or take minivan (full or about full then move) to border (3to4km from bus station). But China immigration only allow chinese nationals on tour (registered at the office near border) to cross. All foreigners not allow to cross. I tried this year, got turn back. China immigration explained that Mongla is not under Myanmar govt control and not consider international border. Few years back when visa is needed, a local acquaintance told me to take the illegal motorbike (20Rmb) to go over. Still available but not sure the price now. They take another route. May not worth the risk.

Yes its confirmed that there r motorcycle taxis willing to bring u illegally fm daluo to mongla. But my friend sent me this whatsapp recently, in nov 2017 :-

"The chinese lady (a china lady we met in sihanoukville fortuna casino, and is now in mongla), told me recently 3 of her friends were caught while entering mongla illegally. They were jailed 6 months each. The casino agent could not help them. Furthermore they paid the agent rmb 500 each to enter mongla illegally. They could not get the refund."

I doubt the immigration in tachiliek border, myanmar, wil allow us to go keng tong and mongla. Pls let us know if its allowed.
