Which one is the easy way to go Thailand from phnom Penh ( trat side or poi pet side ) thanks :)
Answer summary
The easiest way to travel from Phnom Penh to Thailand seems to be via the Trat side, specifically through Hat Lek, as it is recommended for being a nicer and more scenic route. Many users advised against using the Poi Pet border due to negative experiences and highlighted options like flying or even walking to save money. Overall, Trat is suggested for a hassle-free entry into Thailand.

You're probably already back in Thailand but to avoid immigration issues I'd suggest Trat (Hat Lek). Also, it's a much nicer and more scenic route with great beaches to stop off at if one has time.

For Phnom Penh to Trat

You go to Koh Kong first.

Koh Kong you just take a Tuk Tuk to border. About 3U$

After you crossed the border you walk about 100m.

There are minivan going Trat.

it's widely known as the most difficult land border to try and cross in the entire country. Many horror stories from there.

Travel in Cambodia is outside the scope of my knowledge.
