ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi I'm Irish/British citizen and dual passport holder 

From exchanged emails with embassy. Irish citizens can get a 30 day extension letter. Since I stamped in on my British passport, this isn't viable for me 

Given the worsening situation in UK I feel its a matter of time until Cambodia (only known option) close their borders to brits, maybe days.

What I want to know is...

Can I stamp out of Thailand on my British passport. Then stamp into Cambodia on my Irish then stamp back into Thailand on my Irish?

TLDR : Answer Summary

An Irish/British dual passport holder is inquiring whether they can exit Thailand using their British passport, enter Cambodia with their Irish passport, and then return to Thailand on their Irish passport. Responses confirm that while this is possible, it can only be done by air, not land. Additional comments emphasize the importance of COVID-19 measures, as well as recent border closures affecting entry into Cambodia.

Land borders are most likely closed

Too late, it's closed (I think it starts today or tomorrow)

Can't change passports at land borders. Also you need a med cert to show free of COVID and insurance that covers COVID for 100k USD.

Yes, but by air only. You can not do it by land.
