Hi hope somebody can help me out , I'm traveling to Thailand Monday from USA , will spend 16 days, but will like to visit Cambodia , is it possible to get a Visa and what do I need, some friends of mine visit Thailand and only gave them 1 entry to the Country?
Answer summary
The user is traveling to Thailand from the USA for 16 days and wants to visit Cambodia. They inquire about the possibility of obtaining a visa and mention their friends receiving only a single entry into Thailand. Responses suggest that Americans can enter Thailand without a visa and may receive an exemption for 30 days. They can also enter Cambodia either by obtaining a visa on arrival (when flying) or preparing one in advance. It's highlighted that traveling by air rather than land is preferable to save time.

My experience is from 2015. If you're going to Cambodia by air, you'll get a visa on arrival for Cambodia, no need to get a visa prior to arrival. Cambodia uses US Dollar. If you land at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap, there are no scams at the airport. But if you enter by land, I've been scammed at the crossing south of Trat.

If you return to Thailand by air, you get a new stamp for 30 days. If you're only going to be SEA for 16 days, I recommend you fly and not waste a day or two in a crowded van on Thai/Cambodia's roads.

The Thai's limit entry by land to 2 times a year. By air entry's are not limited.

U can visit from Bangkok by road. No problem. Try to move in early morning 5-7am so you can reach Cambodia before night. Google for more detailed info.

If you have no visa, you can enter Thailand twice on a 30 day (visa waiver) entry 2 times in a calendar year (assuming your American).

It’s free. If you leave before the 30 days are up, any remaining days are gone. When you re-enter, you’ll get your second 30 entry.

It’s a good idea to have the cash equivalent of ฿20,000 (cash in any currency) to show if immigration asks (highly unlikely, but possible).

The limit of 2 entries per calendar year is only for entries by land border crossing.

There are no official entry limits if you arrive to Thailand by air.

Get exempt on the way in to Thailand. I recommend getting visa ahead of time for Cambodia; makes immigration faster.

Well, scam might be harsh...plenty of sites trying to skim by charging more and just getting it for you...I think anyways. I went here and had no problem...official website. Went straight to immigration while everyone else was filling out forms.
