Planning a trip to Cambodia. Want to also visit BuriRam and Surin in Thailand. No matter how I plan, it seems like I need to enter either Thailand or Cambodia two times. With Visa on Arrival is there any issue with me entering Thailand, then going to Cambodia, then re-entering Thailand? Planning a three week trip and flying in/out of BKK. Other option is to fly in/out of Phnom Pehn. I think the tourist visas for both countries offer single entry. Any thoughts? Not interested in paying hundreds to get a business visa.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Traveling between Cambodia and Thailand on a Visa on Arrival is generally feasible if you are flying. However, if you plan to cross the land border, it's essential to remember you can only enter Thailand by land twice a year without a visa. For multiple entries, consider obtaining a visa beforehand to avoid restrictions. Also, the tourist visas for both countries typically allow only single entries, so ensure your travel plans account for this when flying in and out of Bangkok or Phnom Penh.

A e visa for Cambodia is $36 on the government site and this will save a page in your passport or pay $30 at immigration when you arrive in Cambodia,re entering Thailand will not be a problem for a 3 week stay the problem will be short on time good luck 🍀

It depends on how you are planning on travelling and if you have a visa or not.

Without a visa, you can only enter Thailand via land border 2 times per year. If you are flying for all of your trips then this doesn't matter to you and you should be fine.

If you are crossing back into Thailand by land at all, and you don't have a visa, you need to make sure you don't go over the 2 times per year.

With a visa there is no limit by land border.

No matter how it plans out, I would not go over the 2 times in one year.

no one knows what you've done in the 5 months before this trip. That's why it's worded the way it is.
