Yes indeed; Cambodian borders are closed to all travelers. No trade going in or out.

Ranong-Kawthaung is open but the Thai side is strict - they want to see 20K in cash, a hotel booking and ticket out of the country. You might be able to talk your way out of some of these requirements if you're fluent in Thai and you're not on a visa exempt stamp.

No. Cambodian borders remain closed. There has been a mention of a reopening, which, in the best case scenario could occur as early as mid-September or early October but this is pure speculation at this stage.

The two main Burmese borders Mae Sai and Mae Sot remain closed due to crackdowns on call center scammers, thus no foreigners are allowed to cross.

Strangely, Thai immigration has removed the signs previously posted at the entrances to these border crossings advising that they're closed to foreigners.

Locals can only cross on border passes; passports are currently not recognized for border crossings.

The Phu Nam Ron border crossing is currently shut to everyone but traders and these aren't even allowed to cross more than a couple of times a week..with traders forced to exchange their goods near the borderline.

@Rex *****

Why? Never heard of that before. Did you overstay?

@Ant **********

Yes but be prepared to show 10-20K Baht in cash, a ticket out of the country and proof of lodging.

@Wannikea ********

Ranong is open.

You can't even drive anyway, because you're a loser who can't afford a car. You wouldn't know how to deal with Thai traffic but when you do get pulled over on your scooter, you freak out and pay 1000 Baht, while the locals just get waved through..

@Stefan ***********

You probably speak taxi Thai with a strong accent. Of course you pay whatever you're asked, coz you're a clueless farang. You probably even tip the police because they're "underpaid".

@Stefan ***********

No, Thais will call you "farang ngo" behind your back.

@Toni ******

You were dumb enough to pay the farang price. I only pay the Thai price and never pay on the spot...police stopped doing that back in 2019. If you weren't issued a ticket you got SCAMMED..

@Toni ******

It's 500 now troll. You got scammed, but hey that's YOUR problem no need to be so butthurt. These days no one pays the cops in cash anymore anyway, that ended before Covid. Now you pay a ticket they issue and the fine is always 500 Baht.
