Will I get a stamp when flying out of Thailand after entering from Poipet?

Thai Immigration Visa and Immigration Travel to Cambodia Exit and Entry Stamps Electronic Gates Passport Control

ORIGINAL POSTER

I came into Thailand this past Monday via Giant Ibis (American with US Passport) and got 'stamped in' by Thai Immigration at Poipet on my passport. If I fly out of BKK to Cambodia will I also get 'stamped out'? 

The reason I am asking is that I had heard/read that with new scanner technology they no longer use actual stamps. I am afraid of creating a scenario where future border crossongs (i.e. into Laos) won't see any Thai Immigration stamp and refuse me entry. That has actually happened recently to someone on another FB group.   

THANKS for any help!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the exit process after entering Thailand via Poipet. They want to know if they will receive an exit stamp when flying from Bangkok to Cambodia since they have heard that new technology may eliminate the need for physical stamps. Several comments confirm that while automated gates at Suvarnabhumi Airport may not provide a stamp, the system tracks movements electronically, and travelers can still opt for a stamped gate if they prefer. Additionally, there are concerns about potential flight restrictions to Cambodia.

They have these new fangled things called computers, they are able to track your movements without physical stamps.

@Pete ******

the problem with the case in point, was that the individual who was crossing into Laos was at a border station that did not have computer access to the Thai data base that showed he had actually departed Thailand. He was refused entry into Laos since he had an Entry stamp but no Exit stamp.

The gates at BKK are automated or you can queue for a stamped gate if you want one. Is new but I never had an issue with the automatic gates and updating the Immigration back end system and in and out all the time .

Your bigger problem might be getting a flight to Cambodia if your destination is Siem Reap- as of yesterday the Cambodian government prohibited these from Thailand as part of the ongoing spat.

There is no issue using the eDeparture gates at the airport to "stamp out" of thailand (even though you don't get an exit stamp doing it).

If you're worried about it and want a real exit stamp go thru the "regular" lines and get an exit stamp, no one makes you use the eDeparture gates.

Will not having an exit stamp from Thailand due to automatic passport control affect my DTV application?
