TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquires about the possibility of doing a border run to Poipet from Prachin Buri, asking if there are agents available to assist with the passport process. The community strongly advises against using the Poipet border due to serious concerns about strict regulations, corruption, and past negative experiences. Many suggest seeking alternative borders, such as Pong Nam Ron or Ban Chong Mek, due to the issues reported at Poipet.

Even if you buy a cam visa as you cross, make sure they stamp you in as well. It cost me $us200 as they sold me the visa, decided my USD payment could be counterfeit, and demanded Thai baht, then put the visa in my passport but didn't stamp me in. When I went to cross back next day, they threatened to arrest me for being illegal. They wanted $400usd but bargained it down to $200 to get an exit stamp. Avoid Poipet

Dont think there is any agent there now, poi pet is the worst place to do visa ran. Even agents avoid it now. (the cam side might not stamp you out if you do not stay for 1 day in cam.)
