ORIGINAL POSTER

Advice please! I am from the UK and flew into Bangkok at the end of February on visa exemption - stayed 28 days. Travelled around and re-enerered Thailand through slow boat from Laos, start of June, on second visa exemption - stayed 2 weeks. I am now in Cambodia and have been here for 2 weeks. I want to go back to Bangkok to fly to the UK. Can I enter Thailand again through a second land boarder crossing with the visa exemption? It would be 3 visa exemptions in total, 1 flight and 2 land boarder. I have heard Poi Pet immigration is is notorious for refusing entry. Thank you very much 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

A UK citizen who has previously used visa exemptions to enter Thailand is considering re-entering through a land border after spending time in Cambodia. The advice is that it is possible to enter again by land using the visa exemption, but caution is advised due to the notorious reputation of Poi Pet immigration for refusing entry. An alternative suggestion is to use a different border crossing instead.

You WOULD be able to enter by land and use the second and final visa exempt entry allowed by land in a calendar year

OR

If you're feeling lucky, try it. You'll either get in or they'll deny you entry and tell you to fly back in.

Your choice 😉

thank you very much. I appreciate your response. I’m unsure how to book transport to enter from different immigration points as it seems companies mainly use this check point. Do you know of any transport companies that use a different check point please?

Also do other land boarders know if you have been refused entry at a different boarder? Thank you!

I mean try a service that uses that poipet border, worst that can happen is they don't let you in to thailand

and

then you go to an airport and fly back in.
