user70 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Which land border crossing points in Cambodia are open to do a visa run from Pattaya? I'm on a 30-day visa waiver program, already got a 30-day extension once and now I need to do a visa run as I'm reaching my 60th day in Thailand. I'll drive my rental car from Pattaya.

RayOday Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 As far as I know you can't drive a Thailand rental to Cambodia. Rental company regulations, insurance, drive side, and border police will not allow it. You can drive to the border and then take a taxi or bus on the Cambodian side. I have been to Cambodia 2x in October for tourism. The crossing was very easy just ignore touts unless you do your internet homework. Understand the real taxi/bus prices then you can negotiate. I crossed in Chom Chong but that won't be convenient for you. Drove to border, parked in a fairly priced parking lot with Thai military security. Then a short walk or motorbike to immigration. Took a van to Siem Reap. Don't know much about other crossings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzzz Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 all borders are open, closest is Pong Nam Ron. Ban Pakard/Phsa Prum about 3 1/2 hours from Pattaya drive to the border, park, have lunch at the casino, walk back to the border. sometimes Cambodia will hit ya with a 300 baht fee if ur not staying the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All land crossings with Myanmar are still closed to foreigners due to security concerns. As mentioned Ban Pakard/Prum is an option. Also good is Ban Laem/Kamrieng. In both cases, the walk from the Thai to the Cambodian side is not onerous. Read the other threads cited by Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two crossings Ban Pakkard and Ban Laem are in amphur Pong Nam Ron โป่งน้ำร้อน on highway 317 which runs northwards from near Chanthaburi city to Sa Kaeo. Pong Nam Ron also has an Immigration office. Edited November 1, 2022 by gomangosteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PONG NAM RON is the thai town before Phsar Prum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
