ORIGINAL POSTER

Any updates on when the Thai–Cambodia borders will reopen? Haven’t seen much recent news and wondering if anyone’s heard of an official date yet.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The current updates regarding the reopening of the Thai–Cambodia borders indicate that there is no official date yet. Comments suggest that while the situation may be stabilizing, it is unlikely that the borders will reopen soon, potentially extending into October. Concerns were raised about specific border crossings, particularly Poipet, and a discussion is ongoing among key stakeholders regarding the situation.

I'm in a group with let's just say "important" people responsible for 2 of the 7 international border crossings with Cambodia and also have connections with a Cambodian customs agent. If any one of these people are informed as to when it will reopen (I think they'll be given a heads up a few days before the general public) then I will be the first to know.

Nope. While the situation appears to be stabilizing, I think it will still take several more weeks before the borders could reopen.

Given that the priority right now for the government is to choose a new leader after Ung Ing was deposed, it's unlikely the borders would be swung open for at least a few weeks yet.

Boonsin doesn't want to lose face, hence it's very likely that the borders won't reopen until October at the very earliest, after his retirement in 1 month from now.

It is good that a conversation is happening about this in the media. The next clue about where things might go is the outcome of the next border committee meeting in Kuala Lumpur, which concludes around the 9th.

Nope... unlikely anytime soon.

AND whenever it is open...

AVOID POIPET BORDER CROSSING.

It's a problem for foreigners.

Now it's wise to fly out of Thailand and reenter to get a NEW 180 day STAMP.

It's proper to refer to it as the Aranyaprathet-Poipet or simply Aranyaprathet border since the problem isn't in Poipet, unless you're Indian, Nigerian or Indonesian or from another similar country. Poipet immigration regularly denies entry to citizens of these countries and several others in South Asia and Africa.

However, on the Thai side, the main problem is with upstairs immigration for any foreigner regardless of nationality (except Cambodians, unless they're spending too much time in Thailand) who aren't in Thailand on a long term visa...or they're a tourist who is simply spending 2 weeks in Thailand then going home.

The vehicle entry point is no problem if you're a DTV holder, on a multiple entry non immigrant visa or even as a tourist for the most part, as long as you're the driver as only drivers can stamp in there.

Anonymous participant 567 I tried replying but the AI didn't accept my post. Not sure why. Maybe because I used the word "s o l d i e r". Anyway, to me it looks likely that a border reopening is coming up in a few weeks to a couple of months. The situation appears to be stabilizing. Hard to say for sure though and many Thais are hoping it will be permanently closed but let's just say that what they want is unlikely to happen.

There was a risk the Thai embassy and consulate General in Cambodia would close, but that risk has disappeared now I think. Hopefully, Thai and Cambodian ambassadors will soon be able to return to their posts.

No, borders aren't. The Thai embassy is.

Is it currently possible to cross from Cambodia to Thailand by land for a flight from Bangkok?
