Don't use Poipet border. They don't like border bounces.

you should use a "border run" service, the Cambodian/Thailand land borders are known for their corruption. A border run agency makes sure that the "wheels are greased", they are your warrant for a seamless border bounce

well, Chong Chom is known to be a relaxed border. However Poipet, Baan Laem and Baan Pakkad should be avoided if you are on your own

i did it yesterday at O'smach. There are "guides" at gate that make it easier. 300 baht tip for a quick peaceful border hop. 500 baht "penalty" for not staying in Cambodia for 24 hours. 1500 baht for Cambodia visa at the border. 30 minutes and I was on my way home.
