There is no crackdown. Took me 25 minutes to leave Cambodia and enter Thailand on visa exempt. Out of a group of 60 only an Indian person with a tourist visa was questioned for like 5 minutes.
You are really behind the news. Good thing you posted anonymously you tool. I was in Cambodia during the so called “tense” situation and nothing happened. Returned today through Poipet and it took me only 25 minutes
I am going back to Thailand tomorrow. They are limiting working hours and Thais are not allowed to enter Cambodia anymore unless they work here, but other than that the border is open.
I still find what happened yesterday at Poipet a bad joke. The Thai military basically closed the frontier 6 hours before official closing time without announcing Cambodia or their own citizens and residents, telling them to stay in Cambodia overnight and come back next day
When I do not hold a visa I stay 60+60 on two separate trips. Been doing for years without any problem, but there is no limit until you get denied at the airport one day and forced to fly back
I find it fascinating that they closed the border without even warning their own citizens working in Poipet who now have to spend the night in Cambodia
