Most foreigners who stay in Phuket will often bus to Ranong (not to be confused with Rayong), and from there cross over to the Burmese town of Victory Point, or else the casino on another island there. There isn't much over there for foreigners, so it's usually a quick border run. Foreigners who stay in northern Thailand will often bus to Mae Sot for their Burma visa runs.

As with Cambodia bus runs, there are tour agencies in Phuket and around northern Thailand that will bring you there and back within the same day and handle everything. Also like Cambodia, Burma is nearest northern Thailand and Phuket, and thereby the cheapest and quickest country to go to by land route, but there is no Thai embassy/consulate at any border crossing so it's really good only for people who already have multiple entry visas or need a new visa on arrival.
