Glad To Be In Thailand -vs- Cambodia

[onlycw]

So that VISA is gonna cost US $ 25? Turn that into 1,600 Baht! The guy at the embassy collecting what, half?

Then that 200 Baht "stamp fee" to get the entry & exit stamps at Poipet.

It is a pleasure dealing with Thai officials - they give an overstay fine receipt and have yet to inflate fees.

So are you glad to be in Thailand or Cambodia?

[thunder30101]

why would you pay it if it was such a blatant ripoff ??? and is this a cambo visa or thai ? you are not real clear on what you are ranting about here.

I think you will find he is refering to the Cambodian visa , he does not need to go through all of that agro , to him , just get an e-visa via internet and do all of the paperwork at the border himself , just ignore the tout who thinks you cannot even write in English .

Of course he could just move , no visa runs called for here , just a slow stroll to a travel agent ONCE A YEAR with no hoops or a small fortune in a bank .

Sorry for the confusion - it was a rant against Cambodian government employees at the embassy and at the border.

And a note of appreciation to Thailand's.

Fly in to Phnom Penh next time and you will find a 100% difference , or go to lao .
