Two crossing south of Poi Pet that are Ban Laem or Ban Pakad that are in Chantaburi province.

Or the crossing in Hat Lek in Trat province.

Or north from Siem Reap to the Chong Chom crossing to Surin province.

 

 

Any buses go their. Anyone had experience can recommend the best route to Bangkok by bus??

I was thinking about koh kong. I wonder if that is a good choice??

I know there is a 2x max border crossing exemptions for some passports. I'm curious, what if I've used 2 exemptions this year via airports. Will the airport exemptions prevent me from border crossing exemption?? 

Guys. Any suggestions for good border crossing point from Cambodia to Thailand?? Starting from either siem reap or phnom penh to BKK as destination. Any idea?? Of course I'm aware poipet is not good. So what would you guya recommend instead??

The crackdown at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueng are more strict than ever. Even myself, I have been denied entry at BKK.  But I still live in Thailand on Tourist visas. Nothing to hide. The border immigration let me in with a smile. No questions asked even though they see my full history on their screens.

 

The way I do it is by knowing all my options.  I take advantage of doing my 2 land border runs per year and extending that. Which gives me 4 months. Plus doing a Tourist Visa run via land border and extendin g that for an additional 3 months. You can go to Yangon. Vientiane. Savannakhet, Kuala Lumpur from Bangkok via bus. I don't ever need to fly out of Thailand anymore until they start changing procedures at land borders and it becomes a problem. 

 

I recently got a "too many visas" warning in my passport but I bought a brand new passport, to do fresh new visa runs at the border consulates again. This is really the only option if you plan to live in Thailand on tourist visas until you decide you are finished with Thailand. Take advantage of the 2 border runs per year, and tourist visa from neighboring country, and buying a new passport after they stamp a remark/warning stamp in it. 

 

Other than that, if you plan on flying out of Thailand. Don't fly back in. Fly to neighboring country and use the bus to come back in, then you can continue on via domestic flight or bus to Bangkok.

Quick question. When u entered thailand through the border did u enter via visa exemptions or tourist visa?

Hi sallecc. Thanks for all the valuable info. I will go check my passports when I go home. See which one looks hot><

If it's cumulative, then I suppose he shouldn't be fine? (they will add all days together, from both passports, because it's one same person)... And answer to OP from his last question, I'm afraid it's detention room (not lounge), check other reports ???? As others suggested, get SETV, fly to KL and then Laos to land border, that should be safest bet (still not 100% safe of course).

 

Sorry I wasn't very clear. Thanks for clearing it up with Donacha. Your discussion & info provided is super valuable for people in my situation. 

OK it is culmative then. I gotta decide which passport to get SETV on... But there's no guarantee even if I get a visa... 

Is bkk really the strictest?? I wonder is it worth it for me to first fly to chiangmai instead of bkk...

I wonder if anyone with dual passports(thanks lkv) which passport would u chose if u were in my boots? 

I would rather fly in then taking a car just to get turned back...

OK. You don't wanna talk about this. So just move on and ignore this thread. Thanks. 

Ur right! Nothing is definite. Scared, a little. Not gonna poop my pants though. But it would suck for sure...

On a different topic, let's say I was denied entry....Anyone know if it's ok to go to the lounge while waiting for return flight or I will have no choice but to stay in the detention room?

Did you get fingerprinted at all when entering or exiting Thailand? A few people on this forum have said that switching passports can't be done anymore but it seems you have managed to do it all fine until the last recent time where they matched your passports.

Yes I did. Ever since the biometrics system was up and running everyone has to be scanned going in/out of Thailand. I have gone through it 5x already with  both passports.

So it seems this time I will definitely get pulled over and rather I would be denied or not really just depends on my luck??

How did they realise that you have two passports? Have they fingerprinted you when entering and/or departing the airport yet and if so, which passport were you using when they fingerprinted you?

 

Especially interested in knowing this as you seem to be asian or asian-looking with also a Western passport. Want to know if they treat asians better who hold Western passports as opposed to all the reports we read of Westerners on Western passports having issues or being denied entry.

I am not sure about this... I think it really depends on the individual IOs bias. I asked my Thai friends and they all seem super optimistic about my situation and they just say I look like a well-mannered, friendly & wealthy Chinese guy(although not wealthy) so should be fine, but truth is they don't think too much about this and why would they?! 

But they do say certain groups of people are more likely to get denied...

But, You just wrote that you stayed 14 month and only been away about 6 weeks during that time? Right?

You must understand that your passports are linked togheter by your indentity, face and fingerprints in the biometric system. That means it is what both your passports show togheter that your possible entry is going to be based on. Not what shows in one of the passports.

It doesn´t matter what passport you are going to use. There is going to be a big chance that you are taken aside and might be denied entry. On the other side, you might ask yourself a classic Clint Eastwood quote changed to fit Thai Immigration: Do you believe you have been staying to many days in the country, or is there one chance left? You have to ask yourself. Do you feel lucky, punk?

Just a joke full of coke ???? Good Luck, man.

Thanks. I think i will need some good luck indeed. It was more like past 13 months and ~120 days 2019 on Canadian passport. I am planning to enter next week with the Canadian passport. This time I'm thinking about getting a SETV to increase my chances.

So if i do get pull-aside by the supervisor there's still a chance they will just gimme a warning and let me go?? Damn. I hope I am super lucky>.<

Your question is a good one. keep us informed as to what happens. Can you please clarify one point. Are you just using visa exempt entries all the time, or are you entering with a visa?

I use visa exempts for Canadian passport while with the Taiwanese i get SETVs to enter. Up until last August IO never gave me any problems except i overstayed with my Canadian passport by 2 hours when i left Thailand in August. So 2 weeks later when i returned(Aug), they asked me to show them my Canadian passport while i entered with SETV on my Taiwanese Passport.

They never harrassed me for having and entering with 2 alternate passports.

During that time, My Thai girlfriend was with me then, so she talked to the IO supervisor and he asked me for the ticket stub for the 2hr overstay trip then input something in Thai on the system and let me go shortly after. He never warned me on anything or wrote/stamped any warning on my passports.

Hi guys, i would like your input here, especially if you have 2 passports...

I have been staying in Thailand for the majority of my time in the past 14 months with maybe only 6 weeks away from the country. 

I mostly entered via bkk airports and enter by rotating my Canadian(visa-on-arrival) and then Taiwanese(tourist visa) passports. I haven't had any problems until last time entering donmueang the IO realized i have 2 passports and one i overstayed for about 2 hours.

The IO flagged me down. Asked a supervisor to pull me aside and entered my both passports info and input some sidenote into the system then he let me go without any warning or anything. 

Now my plan is to fly back to BKK next week with a tourist visa on my Canadian passport. Am i likely to run into trouble.

Both my passports show that i haven't stay in the country all that long but since the IO can see i have duo citizenship on the system am I likely to get denied entry as immigration seems to get stricter??
