Hello group. A few weeks (months?) ago there was an interesting post about border crossing points and warnings about Poipet + recommended places to go instead. I cannot find that post anymore so here is my question.
I think there was a place where you could go by land in Kanchanaburi but can't remember the name. Am planning on spending a couple of days in Sai Yok with my gf, so that would be perfect.
1- can anyone remind me of the border crossing name and if it is still an easy one to get a visa exemption
2- Do you need any visa when crossing into Myanmar? If yes then what is alternate recommended crossing in Cambodia? (I have a car so don't care about bus services)
3- so far this year, I have 2 extented visa exemptions (arrived by air) and an extended SETV from Vientiane. 1 or 2 months will be enough as I will spend the end of the year in Europe.
Thanks for your answers and have all a wonderful day
