NotWhatItWasnt Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Does anyone know if MK Tours are still operating from Pattaya to Aranyaprathet? Last time I used the service was November 2015. Failing that any suggestions on getting to Aranyaprathet from Pattaya? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Just asking. Are you bound to go to Aranyaprathet / Poipet? If you intend to do a border run(?) (with or without visa) this checkpoint is not the best option from Pattaya. Neither in travel nor in potential hassle/crowd at the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be traveling to a place near Puok off National Highway #6, what do you suggest KhunBENQ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No advice on that as you want to actually travel to a place in Cambodia. My question was just about visa/border run (out/in). From a quick glance it looks like you have no good alternative than going through Aranyaprathet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soistalker Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Poipet is a shithole of the first degree. Use extreme caution if you go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up Soistalker, I am aware of the scams and to avoid the so called international travel center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred110 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Take the big yellow bus from the north station. About 5 hours, comfortable seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotWhatItWasnt Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 I ended up taking a Mini Van from the top of South Pattaya Road. Departed at 4am and arrived at the temporary international bus station around 9am where we took a "Baht Truck" to the border (10 Baht) Only a couple of people in front of me at both Thai & Cambodian immigration. There were a lot of IO's at the Cambodian visa building and the usual sign asking for a "200 baht processing fee" was not there. I got my visa in less than 5 minutes.
