Some slight proceedure changes at the Passport office entering Myanmar:
1. They accepted the legal fee - $10 USD - instead of insisting on 500 baht.
2. They did ask if I was staying over or returning that day. Then they stamped my passport with dated entance and exit stamps and handed it back to me, instead of keeping it until I exited. They did not issue the temporary entrance card.
4. When exiting, they did check my passport to confirm that it was propery stamped.
My wife entered on the 30 baht single day pass for Thai citizens, issued at the old immigration office about 2 km south of the bridge. She was able to get the pass on Sunday for use on Monday.
