Not sure if it was the best way, but we went across from Mae-Sai (4hrs bus ride from Chang Mai). A 15 day permit is available on the border and costs 500 Baht.

The "visa on arrival" scheme was suspended on September 1st 2010, while Myanmar elections are held. The election is on November 7th. over 7 years ago

You can visit border towns easily. These include Myawaddy, Tachileik and Kawthaung. Sometimes, foreign visitors are allowed to travel deeper than border towns, such as Kyaington and Tavoy (Dawei), but this is variable, depending on circumstances.
