yes, it is always good when you enter Thailand coming from Cambodia, without a visa for Thailand, if you can show 20,000.- THB/ 40.000.- THB for a family, in cash (or equivalent in another currency) and proof of accomodation for the next 2 days and a proof of onward travel out of Thailand within the 30 days you will get stamped into Thailand . . .you CAN be asked or you won't be asked. It is up to the discretion of the Immigration officer. I would not worry too much. You will be fine, nobody will harass you at the border as you are a "normal" tourist who travels South East Asia with her son

@Heidi ****

you can use Ban Pakkad or Ban Laem easily to get back into Thailand. Or if you are far up north Cambodia, cross at Chong Chom. Easy and friendly border. Poipet is treacherous for same-day border bouncers, but since you have stayed in Cambodia for a holiday, you needn't worry about not getting back to Thailand

he would most probably not have succeeded if he did a border bounce by himself without a visa. Trying to enter Thailand visa-exempt in Poipet on yourself is not recommended. You should pay a "Visa Run Agency" to take you there and back. They grease the wheels at the border. . . . in case he re-entered on a multi entry visa, then no wonder it was kinda streamlined, because this is what these visa-categories are created for

John N Kwan . . . you didn't mention it, however it would be helpful for other readers to know if you were on some kind of multi entry visa, or activating an E-visa, or entered Thailand visa-exempt

I am partially deaf, too. I hear only on the left ear and only with a very strong hearing aid. However in Germany, when I obtain a hearing aid, the specialist in the shop sets it perfectly, according to the Audiogram. The Shop owner first completes a four year apprenticeship and needs to graduate with a master technician class, before he is allowed to provide people with hearing aids . . . obviously not so strict in Thailand, but I have been to INTIMEX Hearing Aids in Bangkok and must say, very skilled people
