Business Visa Or Tourist Visa To Cambodia

[phastmike]

Hi all,

I'm in Thailand for almost a month on a transit visa. I must do my first border hop(visa run?) which this time will be in Cambodia. I'm planning to stay in Thailand for sometime and if possible have a job (to then get a WP for a Non-Imm B visa). I've read about the Poipet border cross and seems the best option this time dispite the ****-hole place that it seems to be.

The tourist visa is valid for 3 months and costs 1000baht while the business visa costs 1500baht (though don't know for how much time it's valid but sure is more than 30 days). Since i'll be doing some visa runs the next months should i get the business visa and avoid paying 1000baht each time i go there or should i get a business visa to save a few bath?

I'm going with my gf and this time i will just cross the border, i mean, get into Cambodia, look around for some minutes and come back into Thailand. Can my gf come with me on a day permission or does she need to have a passport?

Thanks in advance.

As far as I was aware, Thai people (providing they have a passport) can cross the border freely.
