Driving a Thai car to Cambodia
Just as an aside, when it comes to Chong Chom, I previously used that border only because in the past, meaning before Covid, it was just one of two borders permitting entry to Cambodia by car. Hat Lek / Koh Kong was fine too, but they enforced the rule that you had to return the same way, by keeping your Thai customs documents / and/or your car registration and charging you 100 Baht per day for entry. While you weren't supposed to leave the province, you could...(I did) just as long as you returned the same way you came. There were occasional reports that Psar Prum (Ban Pakkard) might let you in but it was rather uncertain and unless you had a lot of time, best not to waste time. Reports were mixed; some people reported success, others stated they weren't allowed in very far and others were denied outright. Chong Sa-ngam was mostly no entry to Thai vehicles prior to 2022, but strangely, the Thais allowed Cambodian vehicles entry, which was really unfair. Thus, going up to Chong Chom but then exiting at another border (even Poipet-Aranyaprathet) was the way to go in those days. You couldn't enter via Poipet but you could exit there. Officials didn't give you any paperwork as Cambodia didn't have an official customs system in place. You could request a permit in Phnom Penh (in person), then return to the border to pick up your vehicle and thus enter through any border you designated. That was the only way you could officially enter prior to 2020 (except for the 2 borders that allowed entry without a permit). At O'Smach, most of the time, you wouldn't even be stopped. On one occasion only, I was asked to pay 100 Baht and then allowed to pass. In 2019, I was given a hand written customs form. Then exited back to Thailand via Ban Pakkard. Handed the form back to the customs officer, he accepted it and that was that. I did hear that some Thai vehicles were stopped and their papers kept, but it never happened to me on any 3 of my pre-Covid entries through that border. I was always able to exit at a different border. In late 2022, the new customs system was just coming into force, but as I wasn't aware (at the time) of how to use it, I entered at O'Smach again and this time, there was no one at the customs hut down the road. Turns out at the time, there was a new customs office located in a back street somewhere around 1km from the border. This office was closed sometime in 2024, before they moved customs processing to the actual border, on the inbound side, just after you get your passport stamped. In 2022, I drove down to Bavet via Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, also visiting Kep before returning via Chong Sa-ngam. Since I didn't have any paperwork I was given a hard time by the Cambodian official there, who wanted to send me back to Chong Chom, but after 45 minutes of waiting and on the phone, he let me through and I was into Thailand. The next time I passed through Chong Sa-ngam in 2024 was with the customs documents and it couldn't have been a smoother process on both sides of the border. -

Trump ostracized at pope’s funeral
Its irreverent really if the photo was adjusted, the topic was blue not black, not what shade of blue. The Op claimed Only Trump wore blue, this was repeated by placeholder who claimed the Vatican said black, when they actualty said dark colour A 'lightened' photoshopped picture of trump sleeping is also doing the rounds. Fortune lied by cropping eveyone out in blue. Keep going if you want, fact is this whole thread was based of MSM lies.
