Hi,

 

Could anyone inform me as to whether the minivan still operates from Robinson Chanthaburi to the Ban Pakard border checkpoint? I used to use this one frequently several years ago but the last couple of times I arrived at Chanthaburi Bus Station they diverted me to the counter which goes to the Ban Laem crossing.

 

I found Ban Pakard much quieter than Ban Laem but seeing as it has been several years since I last went, is it still a smooth crossing or does Thai Immigration now insist that you spend a night over the border in Cambodia? I can turn around and come back the same day with my Non-O Multiple entry visa at Ban Laem but I know that this isn't necessarily the case at all border checkpoints.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

You may have more luck posting this in the Pattaya forum.

 

Just a thought.
