I heard that Ban Laem crossing, Cambodia is open. Not necessary to cross into Cambodia to renew 90 day. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Answer summary
The Ban Laem crossing to Cambodia appears to be open for visa runs, but entry restrictions exist based on nationality. Confirmations indicate that travelers from certain countries may not be allowed to cross without facing restrictions. Some comments mention that health certificates are not stringently required, but it is advisable to check the latest requirements before attempting to cross.

entered and exited Cambodia today by land at Chong Sa Ngam, cambodian official sat on Thai side before immigration. Looked at our passports, CDN and Belgian, asked where we had traveled in the last 3 months and said we would have no problem. Before Cambodian immigration there were 2 health officers, took our temperature and asked about where we had been for the last 3 months, gave us a yellow slip. Cambodian immigration attached yellow slip to visa application.

yes it has been done before. But you need to ask your friend if he can hand carry and obtain the stamp this time. With the fact that Americans are not allowed entry...you may not be able to do this now.

France, Germany, Iran, Italy, Spain and USA are not allowed to enter AND

every person who visited those countries in the last 14 days.
