What's the nearest Cambodia border from Bangkok good for border bounce? How to get there via DIY? Thanks 🙏

Hi there. I'm doing a border bounce at the Aranyaprathet (Thailand) / Poi Pet (Cambodia) border. I've already entered Cambodia (with a visa) and I'm staying in Poi Pet tonight. Will I be allowed to re-enter Thailand tomorrow at the same border? If so, will I need to pay 'extra', and how much might that be? If not, can anyone tell me how long I need to wait before re-entering, or alternatively recommend a better border to enter on? Thanks.

Same day departure as that of the arrival was denied to me at Poi Phet, Cambodia immigration exit.

The officer said I must stay at least one day in Cambodia.

If this wasn't the case for same day arrivals and departures through the Aranyaprathet-Poipet Crossing, it now is.

I just thought someone here would find it of interest.

THIS SPECIAL WARNING...

Appeared in a recent post... AND as Moderators, we have seen this happening often.

"We are stuck at PoiPet. We did a land Visa bounce and can't get back in."

AVOID POIPET BORDER CROSSING INTO THAILAND!

Hi folks,

Is it possibile to get a Re-entry visa at the Aranyaprathet/Cambodian border?

Thank you for helping

I’ve left it too late to book a Border run with an agency .

From Pattaya , in my own car .. is it easy to do the same process at the Cambodian border as is done with the minibus visa run ?? , that is not physically leave thailand Just get the Cambodia visa and get stamped back into Thila.nd for 30 days ?

Warning about the Aranyaprathet - Poi Pet border with Cambodia

For a good while now this border crossing with Cambodia has been known to be tough to deal with. Now more and more people who are bouncing out/back in for a 30 day visa exempt entry are being denied (even though they have not exceeded the two 30 day visa exempt entries by land in a year)

AND

people with valid multi-entry visas who are bouncing to activate another entry on their current visa are being told NOT to bounce at that border again. Some are even getting written notes in their passport stating they should apply for an extension of stay instead.

I just wanted to let everyone know that there are FAR more user friendly borders to bounce out and back in at and if you can I'd give that border crossing a pass (unless you're going there with a border bounce company in a group).

A good choice for a border bounce from Bangkok is the Phu Nam Ron - Htee Kee border with Myanmar in Kanchanaburi.

What’s the current situation regarding 1 day visa runs to Cambodia for somebody with a blank UK passport (except a 60 day extended tourist visa). Any recommendations on companies to use?

A bit info re border run around Bangkok. Basicly there are four borders which are reasonable close. However each of them have pro and con. The closest is the one in Kanchanaburi, cheap for Western Passport, expensive for ASEAN, sometimes they close without prior notice. We had yesterday our first successful trip and plan to do the run regulary. The other borders are on the Cambodian side and are Aranyaprathet, the only comment that I have it is best avoided , a lot of people (long wait) and Non O holders are requested to stay overnight or fly OUT/IN. The other two borders are further south in the area of Pong Nam Ron, near Soi Dao, in Chantaburi province. Both are under the same juristriction so both border follow the rules, no problem for TWO times visa waiver entries in one calendar year and no problem for Multiple entry visa holders. People still complain about "overcharging", but these are actual service fee by agents. Other than that these three borders are OK to do border run. Enjoy your holiday and on 1st January 2018 the clock for 30day visa waiver or entry stamp will be reset at any border.

Is it possible to get a re-entry permit at the border in Aranyaprathet? On weekends?
