2019: There are still conflicts around Myanmar and travel restrictions to many areas. Be sure to check whether your intended road is allowed for foreigners, or you might put locals at risk by hitching a ride from them in a prohibited area. DON’T accidentally enter from Thailand into Tachileik: That areas is surrounded by prohibited areas on all sides and from there you cannot access the rest of Myanmar any other way than overpriced (100 USD I think) plane.
BORDERS 20192020: Bangladesh: not crossable, for foreigners.India: crossable in 2018 and 19 but situation can change quickly, LAOS.Laos: somehow crossable but not easy, .China: generally not crossable unless you get into contact with agencies on both sides before you try. It's not good for spontaneous decisions.Thailand: easily crossablein three places (North to south: Tachileik, Mae Sot, and Kawthaung. The Htee Khee border near Dawei is exit-only). As mentioned earlier, Tachileik is only really usable as a visa-run border to return to Thailand and not for continuing overland travel inside Myanmar.
