Border Hop at Poi Pet with Non O Visa

[VintageTQ]

Hey all,

 

Will there be any issues doing a straight in and out at Poi Pet Border with a Multi Entry Non O? I understand it can be tricky there without a visa but would I have any issues with a Valid Non O?

 

Normally I would do an overnighter to Phnom Penh but just want a quick and easy alternative this time

 

Many thanks for any advice

the last time I was there, they didn't allow you to return on the same day, regardless of what visa you have, people has avoid this border since

Don’t do it. You’ll be in a world of pain.

Go to Ban Pakkad instead, it's ~100km from Poi Pet and you can do an in-and-out if you have a multiple entry visa. I did it last month. They might ask for an extra payment on the Cambodian side for getting stamped out immediately. Just make it clear that you already have a visa for Thailand.

I asked the same question within the last year (or so) and was advised by Ubonjoe (may he RIP) that I should go to Ban Laem-Kamrieng crossing.  It adds a few extra KMs to the journey, but I had no problems there. I found it much cheaper and safer to fly to KL on AirAsia, which is what I did the next 'hop'.

Exactly.

Also @BritTim suggested same.

 

Good advice above from @highfive also.
