Can someone tell me what it costs to go across the Cambodian border for a quick visa run? It's B500 at Mae Sot! What about a quick in-and-out at the Malaysian border?

Poipet ,Cambodia border pay USD 20 or 1,000 Baht for visa fee .

Mae Sai 250 baht or 5 US$.

Malaysian border is FREE...

Cambodia is 20$.

Malaysia is free, but thai customs might charge you less than 100 baht on the way back if you come in a minibus. At least that was what it cost a few years ago when I made the trip. Thai busses pay 20 baht per person and farrang busses 50 baht per person.

Myanmar is the best deal. Maisai/Tachilek is 5$ or 250 baht and if I remember correct the border crossing down at the Tak Province, Mae Sot is 10$ or 500 baht.

Here is a corrupt story for you guys. A friend of mine decided to do his visa trip by himself to Cambodia. He went to the most sourthern border crossing between Cambodia and Thailand. First of all the cambodians rejected to accept 20 US dollars as payment and instead charged either 1000 or 1200 baht. Cant remember the exact amount anymore. Then the cambodians said he had to be in the country for half an hour or so and my friend did go there. On the way back he was asked to pay 300 baht by the cambodians. He declined and they pulled up a gun, pointed on him and they did not take it down untill he had paid the additional 300 baht.

The border crossing at Mai Sai is so hassle free. Going to the casino out of Chiang Saen is also an obtion, though you have to pay an additional 500 baht for the speed boat.

Joel,

You live an hour away from a B250 in and out at Mae Sai, why are you looking elsewhere.-?

Someone told me there's also an exit fee from Cambodia - same price. So, I presume, if you stay overnight you pay twice, but perhaps if you just go for a stamp in your passport you only pay once?

Last time I went in and out from Cambodia there were no "official" exit fees.

Perhaps you should ask this quistion in an other forum.
