I pay...

There is a poster up saying that minimum time in Cambodia is 24 hours. Dunno how real that "rule" is...but at that stage I am more pre occupied with getting back in to Thailand again, and watching my pockets from being lifted by the little urchins underfoot that the border is crawling with.

Excuse me for being a bit thick, but, if you are on a 1 year multiple entry visa, how come you only need to go once a year?

sorry too have woken you up;only stay 6 months of the year.....

While I have a retirement Visa and do not pay an exit fee, I do not know if u should pay it or not. However I too, am a stupid Forang and would pay the fee if a person told me too.

Strange how all these smart forangs that know all the answers are in a class by their self.

I'm going to be thick again, why do you get a one year visa then?

[Khutan]

Ah;

That has been around for a while. There is actually an 18 hour rule that is enforced wherever they like.Read about it here from a post of mine from years ago.

Having been through Cab Choeng many times, the $10- that helps the visa, I really don't care. After all its their country and they really do have that law.

Lol here we go again,for one it looks pretty in my passport,for two whilst in los i like too get around a little,you know what i mean a little holiday here and there pick up some bacon and black pudding whilst im at it..and whilst im at it i'll exit at mae sai,we all know where that is???so i gather you not been to kap cheong then,or is it called o'smach,or chong chom,we dont wanna get confused now,so you didnt pay then??Hope that helped... some are struggling on the op.

Oh, I've been there many many times and as Khutan pointed out earlier, there is an 18 hour rule, if you are in Cambodia for less than 18 hours there is a fee of 300 Baht when you leave.

So for the sake of less than a fiver, you are prepared to break the rules of that country and possibly cause the westerners behind you in the queue having to deal with some Cambodian Officials with ruffled feathers.

Next time you go I would recommend paying the fee...... you know, just to keep things pretty like.

Thought so,nothing better to do all day than scroll around thai visa,what do you do on a normal day??it took you long enough too answer the question, no wonder you have over 3000 posts,timewaster,i pay always have payed,and when asked i will pay,i asked is it legal or not in my original post,i dont think you understood the question,hey if you were behind me in the queue i certainly wouldnt pay...

[Thaddeus]

I'm very sorry, I've just read your first post again, I did misread it the first time. In which case my comments should be directed to the person you were talking to.

But thanks for the insult anyway, I'll add it to my collection.

Right, back to my knitting.

I visit Kap Chueng regularly for my visa and 18 hour rule/ 24 hour rule or not. I never pay and never get any trouble with them. I always tell them sure, I will pay but I want to have a receipt for that. In the beginning they would act as if they don't understand what I meant though I spoke Thai to them, then usually one of those guys around would translate into Cambodian. The end of the story always was that the "chief"would look up from his paper and tell his boys to let the farang f...off (In Khmen of course) Now they don't even ask me for money anymore. Friend of mine who lives in the village next to mine has been here for 23 years and has never paid a baht.
