Kawthoung port

Nice little town - great for a day trip from Ranong. Thai exit - you do not need the services of the visa touts (we were quoted 1300Bt each). The Immigration office at the pier will give you the forms. You need a photocopy of your passport, onward flight, and hotel details. Offices by the petrol station will do photocopies for 5Bt. Easy to get an entry stamp on your return. Office closes at 5 pm. Myanmar - you do not need a tout here either. The immigration office is about 400m to the left as you dock, just past the curve in the road. You also need a photocopy of your passport here - so get 2 in Ranong. There is an office that will do it, also for 5Bt. The passport office will give you an entry and exit stamp at the same time if you are only on a day trip/visa run - saves having to return later. Passport fee of 500Bt/person. (It used to be US$10) We were offered a tour by car by the guy who showed us the passport office. It cost 700Bt - his English was good enough. Visited the temple, statue/viewpoint, souvenir shop, and a restaurant. All within 500m of the pie, but it is hot, so probably worth it. The Thai baht is widely accepted #travel#thingstodo
