Thais don't need to pay to enter Cambodia. They don't even need a stamp on the Cambodian side, just the Thai side (strangley enough).

You should pay $20 for the visa, or 1,000 baht. You don't need to pay anything more. They're real a**holes at that border.

The attitude in PoiPet has been frequently discussed. and is no surprise.

The reason that Thais are not getting the entry stamp of Cambodia is a kind of novum as Thais officially require a Visa to enter Cambodia, same as Farangs , but in order not to stop the lucrative gambling business Thais are allowed to gamble in No Man Land without any Visa while we Farangs get the Visa .

Not quite so. I went to poipet a few years ago to spend a day at the casinos, and all up it cost me 200B, with a stipulation that I had to be back over the border by midnight. (I was with a sizeable party of thai's doing the same thing)

I am absolutley sure this was not legal, but I gave it a shot, & had no probs at all.

Thais do have to pay if they are going to other places in cambodia. If you are just going to gamble then then thais pay 100baht I believe.

These good old times are surely over , years ago the Thais were allowed to walk across the border with their ID card only.

Nowadays they need PP to cross , may be a able to get a borderpass.

Let's be honest , PoiPet is not the nicest place on earth , for first timers a culture shock.
