I am Cambodian citizen... Is it harder for me to go to Thailand right now.. I usually go every year as a tourist... But I'm hearing stories that Cambodian citizen are getting turned away at bkk airport... I have all my documents, proof of fund, accomodations, and return ticket home... Please any information will be great
Summary so far
The experience of Cambodian citizens traveling to Thailand has recently become more challenging. Concerns have surfaced about increased scrutiny at immigration checkpoints, underscoring the importance of having adequate financial proof and documentation (such as cash on hand) upon arrival. Some travelers have reported being turned away or having to return home due to lack of immediate funds despite meeting other requirements. It is recommended for Cambodians to consider applying for a visa in advance and to be prepared for potential delays or questioning upon entry.

My wife is Cambodian, I work in Thailand. She was held at BKK airport in immigration, and had to return to Phnom penh.

She had thb 1 million in her account, she owns property, she has her own business, BUT she did not have 20k thb in her hand..I spoke to immigration, and unofficially........

Jimmy Chum I make more money in a day than you make in a month .

My family does not side with the Cambodians because they are uneducated , illiterate and poor. The Khmer killed thousands just because they wore glasses. Inhumane torture was ungodly and they were cannibals. Yep. You are so right. I could care less about you . Loser. haha 😂

You can travel to Thailand, but expect scrutiny and delays on arrival at the border control, especially if your purpose of travel is only for pleasure. You should be let in after an interview. It may not be the best idea for Cambodians to travel to Thailand, but they aren’t banned.

Cambodian Airlines was asking passengers to show $200 cash at check in. Or they weren’t allowed to board. The Thai immigration rules.

I would apply for a visa and see what happens. I think there may be more questions, but if you have been doing it, I think they will do it, but I WOULD NOT try a visa on arrival.
