Yeah my experience has been that the Thai side generally doesn't have any photocopy facilities or at least claims they don't. I was once sent back to the Cambodian side to take some additional photocopies of my car registration documents at the Aranyaprathet/Poipet border while re-entering Thailand and that's the biggest and most popular border crossing between the two countries.

The Cambodian side does, because travelers on e-visas often need to print out a copy of their e-visa for departure (Cambodian e-visas are only valid for arrivals at some border crossings, not all, but for exiting the country any international border can be used).

Oh interesting. Maybe they do it for you on their phones. These helpers are also on the Thai side and yep, they're always Cambodian nationals. BTW Cambodian citizens need to fill out the form too, if they're using passports.

Well that's why I'm saying you can't get a Samui stamp.

@Graham *****

I doubt it, some borders are very small and don't have the space nor the personnel. Even at Aranyaprathet, they'd send you back to the Poipet side to print documents if you're re-entering there by car or motorcycle.

You will be receiving your entry stamp from Bangkok. The only way you could receive a Samui stamp is if your flight was arriving directly into Samui from Singapore or one of the few other cities which have international flights to Samui.

It's all accurate information.

@John ******

That's the same thing

With a DTV no issue for coming back to Thailand even on the same day, but best to do such runs via land or using a service.

@Toni ******

Firstly, Singaporean or Malaysian immigration might be suspicious of why you would leave as soon as you entered. If you're staying for a full day, that's fine but not if you're turning around as soon as you entered.

Secondly, Thai immigration doesn't take kindly to same day air border runs. Each individual will have different experiences, but I've heard a lot of horror stories.

Land based runs are better. Especially if you use a service, which brings you across and back.

@Toni ******

Depends on the circumstances.
