Would like to visit Angkor this month by crossing at Poi Pet has anyone been recently and what are the requirements. We all have had 3 Covid shots but the last was Jan this year. Do I still need to get a visa from somewhere before I go (British). Is it possible to drive a Thai truck over there? Bit of a rush but my planned holiday fell through.

 

All help appreciated.

A border that I would avoid at all costs; I hate it 

 

Nonetheless, the answers are yes and no. Yes, you need a visa and I recommend getting an evisa online.

 

No to the truck

Why? Since when? I have traveled to Cambodia on motorcycle a few times. Some paperwork on the border but it was definitely possible.

Motocy is not a truck - even that is a faff with covering your headlights and having no insurance.

Pre-covid Thai cars weren't able to enter at Poipet.

 

The only two entry points were O'Smech/Chong Jom in the north and Trat way down south. The Northern one was the easiest paperwork wise (ie there was none) where as on the Cambodian side in Trat you had to pay per day you were there with your vehicle and they'd take you Thai export papers and return them to make you come back via that checkpoint.

 

You can re-enter Thailand via any checkpoint however.
