TLDR : Answer Summary
This conversation discusses the possibility of making a visa run to Cambodia now that it has opened up, along with the complexities involved in returning to Thailand. Participants mention the need for a Thailand Pass application for re-entry, current entry rules for Cambodia, and the lack of available visas upon return. Concerns around the expiration of COVID-related extensions and the status of flights to Phnom Penh are also highlighted.

Is there a problem with the website?

What's so good about Thailand that you need to get over there and rush back here/

For now you can get a Covid extension. No need to do a "visa run". They're valid until end of January.

It's only just opened up so the flights may take a little longer to become available...

Neither one of the Thai consulates in Cambodia are selling visas. The eVisa system is not enabled there yet either.

Or do you mean further into the menu?
Benjamin ******
@Kevin **********
No, I mean Thailand's eVisa system, the system that will let you get a visa to enter Thailand.
Kevin ***********
@Benjamin *****
Ah so only TP required if you qualify for Thai Visa Exempt then.

But can do test&go when return?

@Jukka ********
I believe so. I want to go to Cambodia for New Year :-)

Greg Bewick. You could try applying for your Thailand Pass before you leave Thailand? I don't know how that would work, or even if it would work, but someone should give it a go. It might make a "border bounce" a possibility for those who need one

Bangkok Air has flights to Phnom Penh listed for December. Not sure the date flights will begin. I think they fly three days a week.
Jeremy ********
I heard the Covid extension is only going to be good until 31 Dec…so it’s time to start looking into plan b

@Jeremy *******
not good till, it will be extended to December 31st. Likely the last time it will be available.
Jeremy ********
@Wannikea ********
the worst that immigration can give you is the 7 day to get out of Thailand stamp

@Wannikea ********
TiT so never hold your breathe
Darren *******
@Jeremy *******
where did you hear that?
Jeremy ********
@Darren ******
a very reliable source…it should be published in the Royal gazette prior to 26 Nov
Wannikea *********
@Darren ******
Richard Barrow reported the possibility today, still not official
Darren *******
@Wannikea ********
thanks, I hadn't seen that so I'll go take a look
Wannikea *********
@Darren ******
might have been on twitter, possibly FB and Twitter
Darren *******
@Wannikea ********
can't see anything there, maybe I'm going blind! Most interesting tweet of his today is the one from Koh Phangan about them not giving the covid extensions to unvaccinated people.
Wannikea *********
@Darren ******
likewise, I can't find it either, but, in Thai visa advice there was also a post that was withdrawn and Tod Daniels made a little post about it to the effect of we'll wait for more conclusive evidence. So...as with many things Thai, nobody's sure of anything including the leaks.
Darren *******
@Wannikea ********
just seen Tod's post, definitely seems to be a case of wait and see as you say.
Darren *******
@Wannikea ********
he might've stickied it, I'll go take a look over there
David *******
You need visa to enter Cambodia now
Kevin ***********
@David ******
Not if you didn't before.
David *******
@Kevin **********
correct no visa on arrival
David *******
@Kevin **********
announced today no visa on arrival with exception Taiwan

Well that's what I understood
Kevin ***********
@David ******
Ah I get you, yes it it's been business visas only for quite a while, but now they've reopened the old system, so you can buy it online as before. Maybe not available in the airport yet?
Will ************
Once there you’ll be subject to entry rules the same as everyone else. TPASS etc
Bobby ********
Getting there is no problem, but once there you have to go through the Thailand Pass application process in order to get back into Thailand
Wannikea *********
Country is open, but getting there and back from Thailand is a whole different ballgame.
Kevin ***********
@Wannikea ********
Yeah but if you get there, you might not want to come back 😁
Paul *******
@Kevin **********
Yes true. OK, Cambodia hasn't been great recently but it seems to finally be improving.
