If you are asking about a organized visa run that most of the companies now go to Ban Laem and one goes to there and the crossing in Kanchanaburi.

They stopped going to Aran/Poipet because of all the problems people have had there.

Thanks Ubonjoe. The border is open ? I can catch the train from Makkasan and go and do myself at Arrunyapatet ?

The train is extremely slow and quite hot and dusty. If you really want to risk a visa run to Poipet/Aran, use a casino bus. The best place to pick one up is at Central Bang Na. They run frequently from around 5:30 am until about 10:00 am, price 200 baht one-way (300 baht return, but do not do that as it restricts you to a specific bus at a usually inconvenient time).

 

Decide in advance what you will do if unable to reenter Thailand at Poipet. Ignore advice by Thai immigration to fly from Siem Reap to Bangkok.

Thanks Tim, in the end I decided to buy a ticket to KL stay two night and rtn 3,800 baht.

Probably safer bet than Poipet ....

What was wrong with the visa bus to Ban Laem?

I consider the KL return flight much easier.
