@Sean ******
this is my guess also. They're all on the (baksheesh) payroll up there with visa companies from Chonburi that I know of (24 hour minivan + visa stamp return) instead of the old Cambodian border. If they refuse us entry, they know word gets back, forcing our hand. Obviously as previously mentioned, flights are the safest option and even then, its suggested to stay 1 night atleast? Other border runs ive read that are working are near chiang rai. I'd like more information on these personally...for future reference. And to answer 'what are you doing in Thailand'? Is it not advisable to say 'Thai cooking'?
