What are the challenges of re-entering Thailand from Cambodia at the Poipet border for DTV holders?
Does anyone with DTV left Thailand to cambodia and came back again by border (Poi Pet) these days?
I would like to know the process and the difficulties? Thank you in advance.

Answer summary
Several users caution against using the Poipet border crossing for re-entering Thailand, particularly for individuals holding DTV visas. They share experiences highlighting potential difficulties at the Thai immigration side of Poipet, where entry may be denied randomly. In contrast, alternative crossings like Ban Pakkad are mentioned as trouble-free, with quick processing for entry and exit stamps. The consensus suggests avoiding Poipet for re-entry while noting it may still be suitable for departure.

Avoid that border for re-entry to Thailand. For departure, no issues at all.
The only possible exception is if you're driving a vehicle and YOU must be the driver, since passengers have to stamp in, in the dreaded arrivals hall in Aranyaprathet.
Poipet on the Cambodian side is no issue but the Thai side often does deny entry randomly. Only the vehicle entry point is relatively OK but to be absolutely safe, re-enter elsewhere, there are 6 other international border crossings.

Last month, I returned from Poipet and spent one night there. There is no problem with Cambodian or Thai immigration.Paul *******

On a DTV? Poipet is a bit dodgy, but one guy on here stated he was denied re-entry on the Thai side on a DTV despite being in Cambodia and Vietnam for 3 weeks.Wannikea *********
@Boaz ****
your first reply "last month I returned....." Then when questioned if it was on a DTV you replied "On Non O." That Non O experience is irrelevant.
Most problems at Poipet are visa exempt stamps and TR visa.

Did not you read my message? I just applied for a DTV visa today and am waiting for approval tomorrow. Then I shall try at the border. I have heard that many non-immigrants visa have confronted this issue at Poipet, but I have never experienced it.Wannikea *********
@Boaz ****
the group is DTV, the conversation is DTV, your Non O experience is not relevant.Boaz *****
@Paul ******
On Non O visa. Will try DTV soon and await approval by Thai General Consulate today.Toni *******
