What are the border crossing options from Thailand to Cambodia, especially for foreigners?
Well, Robert closed the comments on the 'Cambodia crossings'
And Tod mentioned that there are 40 crossings in Sa Keow. I just wanted to add that there are probably hundred's, if not thousands, of border crossings into Cambodia for Thais, most of them actually illegal though! #noonegivesashititsbusinessasusual

Well as this page is for Thai Visa advice, I don't see any benefit of probably hundred's, if not thousands, of border crossings into Cambodia for Thais. As strange as it may sound for some of us, Thai people do not need a Visa or Visa Exempt Entry to stay in their own country.

On illegal border crossings, do you stil get the Visa Exempt Entry stamp or the new 60 or 90 day on your Multiple Entry Visa?

Well read my post again. It's about border crossings for Thais into Cambodia, so the answer to that would be a NORobert *******
Just following the news that almost every week foreigners got arrested with illegal entry in Thailand. I guess they use these borders because there is no Immigration checkpoint with stamps available. So don't see the importance of this topic.

Good Question

sure. What we need are the crossings foreigners can use. All along the border to Cambodia I only know: Chong San Ngam, Aranyaprathet, and Hat Lek. Not sure about Ban Laem

OPGregor Huettner Chong Chom is also a user friendly border crossing for non Thai citizens

Exactly, but it wasnt the point of my post. Thais can cross into Cambodia at many places non Thais cant. Just a heads up, but most of them are actually not legal crossing pointsNeo ************
If this was a big issue I can assure you Thaivisa website would have made a big news about it. Since there is not one thread on there talking about it i would not be worried.

OPAnders Guldenskold I think you need to rewind, my post was about the hundreds of crossings into Cambodia for Thais. Good luck for you that your Embassy fixed your Thai immigration problems
Neo ************
Steve Greir Yes if someone holding you hostage for money and they allow you call your Embassy why would it not help? Never going to pay 10 000 THB to some Cambodian immigration. Same with Thai immigration if they taking a piss i called the Embassy and they fixed it.

OP@Anders ************
Not aggresive, just realistic!Neo ************
Steve Greir Do not know why you so are so aggressive? Never mind this thread is pointless since we not have the fact anyway. Off course you call your Embassy if you stuck in another country with corrupt officials i done it before and always helped
Steve *******
OP@Anders ************
Yeah, Good luck with calling your Embassy! Im sure they'll just be pissing themselves laughing.Neo ************
@Steve ******
I would simply call the Embassy and ask them to talk to them immigration in Question. I am sure they would feel it would be strange that it now cost 10 000 to visit Cambodia.Steve *******
OP@Anders ************
Yes, me too. I never heard of anyone being asked to pay 10k for leaving CambodiaNeo ************
Steve Greir If Cambodia ask farang to pay 10 000 thb or stay in Cambodia for one night you it would be big news. So far i have not seen any website or facebook post other than this.

Im not worried and it's not a big issue for Thais/Cambodians. Why would Thaivisa website be talking about this?Activity
