ORIGINAL POSTERRecent experience of border bounce ban laem chanthaburi. No photos required. No copies of passport required. Paid fixer 2000b very easy. Only required address in Thailand and phone number job done in about 20 minutes. Just keep your wits about you to leave Thailand enter Cambodia leave Cambodia and enter Thailand. 45 days given.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post shares a recent border bounce experience at Ban Laem Chanthaburi. It reports that no photos or passport copies were required, only needing an address and phone number in Thailand. A fixer was used for a fee of 2000 Baht, making the process quick (around 20 minutes) while receiving a 45-day extension. The comments discuss the necessity of having a fixer, the costs involved for Cambodian visas, and variations in personal experiences regarding time spent in Cambodia and the rules around re-entering Thailand.

I've never been charged this 300 Baht though I would at least spend a few hours in Cambodia first before returning. These days, I always make a trip out of it and spend several days, but in my border running days (last time was 2014) I didn't have any extra expenses to pay aside from the visa cost on the Cambodian side yet I returned to Thailand the same day and it was at this very border described here.Anthony ********
ORIGINAL POSTER@Paul ******
I agree but I needed to come straight back to Thailand and the rules have changed from back then. Legally your required to spend some time in Cambodia. You can I believe pay the Cambodia side 300b to come back same day. That's roughly 1300b for visa and 300b passage. I decided to pay the extra money for time and easy.Paul *******
@Anthony *******
No, the rules were already like that in 2014 but I didn't need to pay. I spent maybe 5 hours in Cambodia before returning and by that time, a different officer stamped me out and thus didn't ask for any money.Reply to

What or who is ”fixer”? You just saw someone at there to offer help or how did you find one?

ORIGINAL POSTER@Toni ****
fixer is someone not attached to the authority legally but knows all the tricks to get you through immigration at speed and without questions. Basically gets you what you want. You don't have a lot of choices as soon as you're through the thai side they are on to you instantlyIncognia **********
