I am in Prasat, Surin. Chong Chom is my closest border crossing. I want to do a border run. Does anybody have any info on the latest experience there? Do I have to stay one or two days in Cambodia? I don't have a car at the moment so an extension in Surin is my last choice.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is seeking advice on doing a border run from Prasat, Surin to Chong Chom, their nearest border crossing to Cambodia. They inquire about whether it's necessary to stay one or two days in Cambodia, as they currently do not have a car and prefer not to extend their visa in Surin. Comments from other users suggest that the experience at Chong Chom can be swift, sometimes taking as little as 20 minutes, especially if you use a local service to expedite the process. However, travelers are warned that re-entry into Thailand can be unpredictable, especially with multiple entries logged.
I've never had a problem with Chong chom , in and out in 20 minutes , pay a guy a couple of hundred baht on entry to Cambodia and he will fill in the form etc and push to the front of any one else waiting !
