i have only ever traveled to cambodia before and am un-sure of the visa process in the other countries but was once told you cant get a visa on arrival in vietnam is that still the case?

When i mentioned a visa run by minibus to cambodia i was told that this is not easy now because of the fighting between the two countries. How much truth does this hold has anyone got any experiance with visa runs recently? Because i think the price of flying is a bit expensive when i see signs for visa runs for as little as 2000.-

Thanks in advance

It is very safe to go via landtransport to Cambodia.

There is no issue with the two countries.

Take the casino/visa bus run to Cambodia , you lose a whole day off your visa but it is convenient,cheap and you get a smorgasborg lunch thrown in on the deal , Cambodia is only interested in the money you pay them for a visa , it is great revenue for the country .

If you want to fly, Air Asia to Singapore has good times and when I booked it was cheaper than any other destination. Cost me 4,373 baht booking 12 weeks in advance but you won't get that at short notice. From memory the flight leaves BKK around 4.45pm and you're back about midnight. 2-3 hours in Singapore or even just in Changi Airport which is pretty comfortable. No visa required for Singapore for most nationalities.
