FYI, pigs don't sweat.

That is why we called a 500 baht note a purple fun coupon

Have any of you keyboard warriors considered what day it is today and other announcements on this website on the same date in previous years......?

Good old Hat Lek border crossing with overly corrupt Cambodian officials. I went there last year with my girlfriend who is a from a middle eastern country. It is clear on the Cambodian Gov't website that she was eligible for entry to Cambodia with a visa on entry. We cleared Thai immigration with no problems. We were then approached by some tout at the Cambodia immigration post who asked what we planned. I told him that we wished to get a Visa on entry and visit the casino and a restaurant. He told us that the visa fee would be 3000 baht each plus 300 baht each to leave the same day. I pointed out to him that the actual cost was about 1500 baht each for the visas and told him that I would deal with the official at the office. He said suit yourself. I went to the window and they demanded 3000 each. I asked to speak to the boss and was shown into a room where the boss also demanded 3000 baht. I tried telling him that as per the official Cambodian gov't website the price was 1500 baht. He wasn't having any of it. I was trapped outside Thailand with no way to return without paying the 3000 extortion fee. I ended up paying. Never going there again. I did notice that other travelers had E-Visas and had no issues or extortion demands.
