 is on the border of nam rom district of chanthaburi and Cambodia. You don't need a visa agency. Just turn up. You will be met by usually a young woman or man. They will take your 1600b and guide you over the border and back.

Ok..if you need a visa, then you must go to the consulate or Embassy that issues them. E.g Laos, Vientiane or Savannakhet. Or Cambodia or Penang or even Singapore.

Otherwise just pick a border, stay in the other place overnight and come back

Don't forget it isn't a race, you can take your time ymto visit the other country

Burak Kurt I've not done a DTV. If you already have the visa you are allowed multiple entries....maxumum stay of 180 days? So that would require just keavu g and returning to re-activate your visa. As I understand it, if you hold a DTV, you can leave and re-enter Thailand as many times as you want without having to apply for a re-entry permit.

If you haven't got a DTV yet, the best way is to get one online - it requires proof of funds. - at least 500,000 Thai Baht

 There have been a few anti tourists issues there in the last few months. Pity, as it came about when I was planning a short visit. Decided to stay away.
