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

Do not go to poi pet, any other land border but that one

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.)

No. Avoid Poipet and go somewhere else
