Thank you so much for all the answer

So I just arrived in Cambodia

I think that I have 2 options :

Ask for a tourist e-visa from Siam reap , or

Going to Vietnam to also apply for or evisa tourist or DTV (quicker in Vietnam than Cambodia my friends said me)

I am just scared about : did the Thai embassy gonna give me the tourist e visa ? Or maybe not because they are a bit bored of people coming from Cambodia because of the issues that they had ….

Thanks you again for the help

The Thai immigration was horrible : I learn and speak Thai 100% / doing Muay Thai doing fight too .

And because their own administration allowed me last year to do several visa run : at Suvarnabhumi they was like « why you don’t do visa ? why you come Thailand like » but they maybe forget that « we do that because THAI people allowed us to do this and they also take advantage of this !! »

Finally , before taking my plane at 7.30 pm today to get out from Thailand to Cambodia : the « security guard » who was following me the all Thai said me « I you had given some money the boss let you go » … knowing after they was claming for hours for « need to have good visa » instead they was doing stamp to all the people was giving some money MTFK …. I didn’t even think to do that I was to upset ..

Anyway this is a short part of the story that I wanted to share thank for all the answer

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user discusses their current situation after leaving Thailand for Cambodia, contemplating whether to apply for a Thai tourist e-visa from Cambodia or travel to Vietnam for the application. They express anxiety about the potential refusal of their application due to past immigration issues. Several comments provide insights, suggesting that while applications can be made from Cambodia, the processing times may vary and advise considering options in Vietnam or Laos for potentially quicker results.

No idea why and you do not have to explain, but persons do not get locked in a cell and ordered to leave the country without a good reason.

I would suggest to solve those problems before you start to apply for a visa.

a Visa does not guarentee an entry into Thailand, it just gives you a certain amount of days IF you are allowed to enter.

Is it a nice cell?

There is nothing to stop you from applying in Cambodia. And PP is quite nice. Maybe slow a bit with processing from RTE there.

But due to strained relationships with Cambodia at present, you might want to apply from Vietnam or Laos instead. Both are just a cheap flight away from PP

What? Yes foreigners/Europeans can apply in Cambodia but I think recently the processing time has been quite long.
