Poipet Border Run

2700 is definitely on the high side.

When I did a PoiPet run from Bangkok, I paid 2000 baht all-in, using

Fine Day Tours

016217598

Very nice double-decker tour bus with reclining seats and VCDs playing on a TV screen. Includes one can of soda on each way, and lunch in one of the casinos. They pick up by Asoke BTS. I was expecting some minivan full of farang, and instead found a tour bus full of Japanese and Koreans. :o

Only extra thing one needs is a photo for the visa.

1) Go to Mochit and take a bus to Aranyaprathet (193Baht)

2) After arriving take a tuk-tuk (60Baht) or a motorbike (40Baht) to the border

3) Departure stamp on thai side and go to Cambodian visa building on no mans land. (Visa 1000Baht)

4) Arrival stamp on Cambodian border and cross to the other side for a departure stamp

5) Arrival stamp on thai border

6) tuk-tuk or motorbike to Bus station (60 or 40 baht)

7) don't go on weekends.

Total cost = (193*2)+(60*2)+1000= 1506 baht. (if you take a tuk)

The real price for the Cambodian visa is $20 -- no baht is officially mentioned by the government. I have never paid more than $20, except for my first run when I paid 1000B. Have your photos and your $20 bill. You can achieve this by smiling, but insisting on the price. I'm not a cheapskate, but I do like to pay the real price for what I am getting. But it's all up to you what you want to do... I haven't done a border run this year though, so can't comment much on the current situation.

You are not spamming - it is good to get some options (WITH links) and people here are smart enough to then make their final decisions themselves. Cheers!

Agreed. The more options the better.

Mods, any reason for zapping Rainman's topic?

Were any of us stepping on someone's toes? :o

Phillip from TVR did a lousy job of spamming the thread and G closed it, understandably.

----------------------------

The cost of fuel is a bastard now and you need at least 95 paying pax a week to cover costs at 1000bt a head just for the transport on our VIP coach and that was when diesel was at 15 bt/litre........ What is it now??? :D

Since you are trying to offer visa run service in the future, one suggestion, don’t say bad to your rivals, it looks suspicious.

One post and you're giving me advice :o ......... smell the coffee pal and MYOB.

I stated a fact, but it obviously went over your head. Dick.

What time does the Poipet border shut? I have to do my first run up that way tomorrow and I'm a bit of a late riser. :o

Poipet border normally opens 6:00 am to 8:00 pm,

I'd call Thai Immi as I think it closes at 17.00

Ok cheers, bit late actually as I came and went already, but appreciate the replies. Think next time I will stay up there a few days, casinos, women, booze, what more could a man want. :D

You are a very impolite man. I though you would say thank you instead.

Did you pay $20 for a visa at the Cambodian Embassy in BKK, or at poipet border?

The real price is US $20 for tourist visa and $25 for business visa but they carefully hide the blue plaque, that states the real price, in the visa section at Poipet. :o

Dick, show me where I slagged off Philip's business.

I slagged this fool for spamming and not doing it very well.

Try a night course in reading and comprehension

Until then <deleted>. :o

I’ve checked your website couple of times, still think you have a good idea but a bad mouth, and that’s gonna kill your business.

You have obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a <deleted> about your opinion, and not responded to my point, so let's leave it there. DICK :D

This thread is 10% inspiration, and 90% bitching. I'm gonna close it down. If someone wishes to discuss visa runs without arguing, open a new thread, if you wanna keep arguing, exchange emails.
