Are the land borders open for Cambodia yet? I need to do a quick hop as I am canceling my Non-B and WP and coming back on a regular entry stamp. Also, will I need a Cambodia visa to just do a "turn-around"?
Answer summary
Yes, Cambodia's land borders are open for entry. It is advisable to use a visa-run service to avoid potential re-entry issues. You will likely need a visa to re-enter Cambodia, which can be obtained at the border, costing around 1500 THB or $30. The Koh Kong border is a popular option for quick trips from Bangkok.

From reports on here you do not want to try these borders by yourself. Save any hassles and use a border bounce service. They know how to grease the wheels. Poi Pet is probably the worst crossing point.

Ban Laem Chanthaburi/Cambodia is good to go. From Bangkok. Yes you'll get a Cambo sticker that chews up one page of passport.

Cambodia has been open for months, but advise you take a visa-run/border-bounce company to ensure you have no problems. There's been reports of re-entry denials especially at Poi Phet. The Laos borders are by far the easiest
