Do you need info on a complete visa run service or are you self driving and need advise of the procedure at the border?

I am just back frome there 3 days ago

If you want it brief, you have to provide more details:

• How do you plan to get to the border?
  
• Do you keep going to the embassy in Phnom Penh or you just want to do a border run (leave Thailand and re-enter immediately)?
  
• What is more important to you: convenience or money?
  

Answer these and we can prepare you how to get through the border without falling for one of the touts that will try to extract money from you.

The border formalities are similiar to other crossings:

Thailand->Cambodia

1. get exit stamp at Thai immigration counter
   
2. walk 100 meters to the big stone arc covering the street and get your temperature checked (if they still do that)
   
3. cross the street and get your Cambodian Visa on Arrival at the visa service counter (bring one photo), takes 5-15 minutes, you'll have a 1-page sticker in your passport
   
4. keep walking for another 100m passing the casino hotels, get your Cambodian entry stamp.
   
5. Welcome to Cambodia!
   

Cambodia->Thailand

1. get exit stamp at Cambodian immigration counter
   
2. walk 100m passing the Casino hotels to the big stone arc, cross the street, keep walking until you come to the the Thai health checkpoint and have your temperature checked there (if they still do that)
   
3. keep walking and get to Thai immigration, where you get your entry stamp
   
4. Welcome to Thailand!
