USA>Canada, although the trip was by bus, they made us walk over the border.

Not on foot:
Canada <> USA
Germany <> Netherlands
Netherlands <> Belgium
Belgium <> Luxembourg
Luxembourg <> France
Germany <> Poland
Germany <> France
France > Switzerland
Switzerland <> Austria
Switzerland <> Lichtenstein
Austria > Germany
Poland > Slovakia
Slovakia <> Hungary
Slovakia > Czech Republic
Sweden <> Denmark

Thailand to Myanmar and return, walking and the re-entry stamp to Thailand says "Walking" as well.

China to Hong Kong by train. This was in 1992 so they really were separate countries. Noting that HKG is now an SAR of China does this count any more?

[flyingsaucer]

Probably most in Europe, the middle east, se asia but also, if it counts, I cross the border twice daily between Wales and England. It is certainly much quicker now there are no border guards, fences, soldiers, and the road bypasses Offa's Dyke.

[Mongah]

Only
US<>Canada
US<>Mexico

But 500+ times between the 2 if that counts

[dg4255]

Very few crossings really. I hate driving!
But, I have made a few:
US-Mexico
Italy-Austria
Italy-Slovenia
Slovenia-Croatia
Austria-Germany
South Africa-Botswana
Argentina-Brazil
France-UK
Italy-Republic of San Marino
Italy-Vatican

Here is my list - split into existing borders, borders that no longer exist and borders that exist now but didn't exist at the time. Most crossings were in both directions, some borders I only ever crossed in one direction (such as the ones that involve Liechtenstein - also, I only ever crossed the Oresund bridge in one direction)

Mine looks positively boring in comparison:
China<->HK (rail)
Italy<->Vatican City (but that isn't really a border the same way a regular national border is...)

I usually travel between places where it is not possible to cross by land.

Yeah, HK to Macau is a difficult one.. whether to count this or not. However there are ferries from the HK airport direct to Macau, and you go through immigration in Macau. Not sure if there are any other places like this.

Also would Aland Islands/Finland to Sweden count, similarly ferry Argentina to Uruguay? But they do share a land border at least.

Being an European i have been to most of the european countires, most of them by car, but to US and asia by plane

[Redhead]

Many of my land crossings were actually on foot. When I lived in Geneva we used to do grocery shopping by walking over the boder to France. I've skied from Switzerland into Italy and from Spain into France. Other land borders include the Chunnel (UK-France), Benelux (across and thru all 3), Luxembourg-Germany, and a bunch more in Europe. Also Kenya-Tanzania
