It seems like the opening of new Burmese crossing points is now a reality and you now have the option of doing a visa run to Kanchanaburi instead of Ban Laem. Not much info on it yet but here is one outfit already offering the service from Kanchanaburi for 1750 baht
Some pictures from their facebook page

Where is it ?
Where is the border?
Phunamron immigration (Thailand ) From kanchanaburi is 1 hour by cars.
Thi Khi immigration (Myanmar) 30 minute
( their info not mine )
Thi Khi ( surely not a place to shit ? )
Anyways ,I plan to do this next month so will try to do a thread on it.
If anyone else has any info on it I'd ne interested to see it.
