TLDR : Answer Summary
Users are discussing the closure of Cambodian borders affecting visa runs and travel to Mae Sai. Questions arise about the reasons for closure and its impact on individuals needing visa stamps. Additionally, some users reference reports confirming that multiple Cambodian crossings are closed, particularly mentioning the Sa Kaeo border checkpoint.

Can you still do Visa runs? I paid an agent an exorbitant amount of money so I can get my 4th visa exempt Stamp in a row, now what am I going to do?

Laos and Malaysia are your options by yourself. The visa run company will take you wherever they can get you out and back in. With your history you'd be foolish to try it yourself

this is why I’m scared

suggest you speak to the visa run company you already engaged with and see what they say. Who knows how long Cambodian borders will remain closed but it seems to be escalating to me
Jeremy ********
@John *********
but I’ll be on overstay soon so that’s just more money I’m losing

OK, but with your history I'd suggest you contact one of the "fast track" companies that can ease the entry back into Thailand or you run have a high chance of being refused entry. Why not apply for a proper visa while in Dubai? Maybe a DTV if not old enough for a retirement visa?

@John *********
I guess I’ll have to

@Jeremy *******
all Cambodian - Thai borders are closed. Things are only escalating day by day, so this will be awhile. Cambodia has banned all Thai TV shows and movies, cut electricity and oil coming from Thailand and all other Thai imports.

depends where they're running to I guess. The graphic talks about the Sa Kaeo borders. Some others are also closed but I don't know if it applies to all
Jeremy ********
@John *********
but they tell me they only have so many plugs at the border so if I want to go to another one it’s another ฿8k
