Personally I would consider a flight to Phnom Penh Cambodia and stay overnight a couple of nights and have a look..

It's a interesting city.

If you buy a return ticket in advance they can be cheap..

Just take a carry on bag to Phnom Penh for a short visit and tickets are cheaper on the budget airlines without luggage..

It's quite a journey to the Cambodian border to do a border run..

Especially there and back in 1 day by road is quite painful..

Just check your visa entry requirements for Cambodia before you decide

You can only get one 30 day extension per visa exemption entry..

Rather than bother with doing the extension you may want to consider taking a trip over a border to get an additional 60 days ..

Keep in mind when calculating your 60 days that your day of entry is day 1 of the 60 regardless of the time of day you arrive.

I doubt it very much..

I believe she would need to be an Australian citizen or resident and at least lived in Australia for 2 years minimum.

You should be able to find the qualifying criteria for pensions on the government centerlink website

It's not a Visa..

It's actually a free Visa exemption entry for up to 60 days.

Your passport will be stamped with the end date of the 60 days and no other paperwork or application is required...Just your passport

Phnom Penh is a great city on the river and well worth a visit for a few days ..

Siem Reap and the Temples of Angkor are one of the biggest tourist destinations in SE Asia and attract millions of visitors every year..

And if you want something quite different head to the coast in Cambodia and check out Sihanoukville and Kampot and some lovely quiet beach areas along the coast..

You can even travel overland by bus from Sihanoukville back into Thailand via Ko Kong along the coast..

Interesting trip and onwards to Trat Thailand and even Koh Chang island Thailand and back to Pattaya or onwards to Bangkok.

I have been over most of Cambodia and it's a fascinating country and well worth a very good look.

The world is your oyster in Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand and years of adventures to experience if you want to 😁

I highly recommended you try Cambodia if you haven't been already

It's a free visa exemption entry for up to 60 days depending on your passport country.

This question cannot be answered without knowing your passport country

The hotel is required by law to register you as a guest..

That's why they take a copy or picture of your passport

Passport country does make a difference..

What is it ?
