Five Star Visa Runs

[hotandhumid]

Does anyone know what border in Cambodia this company goes to, or can it change depending on circumstances?

Thanks.

I think last time I went with them it was Banpakkad or maybe Bang Leam (Pong Nam Ron province)

AFAIK Pong Nam Ron/Ban Pakard (Prum) is the crossing of choice at the moment.

Didn't use 5 star last time, as their bus was full, so went with 1st Class instead. However the 5 star bus was at the Ban Pakard boarder too.

This was early July this year. Haven't been more recently.

Both did and presume still do go to the same place.

It is largely developed to cater solely to this enterprise as previously it was little more than a couple of mud huts.

Yes today they both seem to go to Ban Pakard. It's not that long ago they all went to Ban Laem.

I remember driving to Ban Pakard in 2004, then it was as you say, nothing more than a few mud huts and maybe one or two other falangs crossing the border.

It was a very nice addition to Aranyapratet, think the Ban Pakard border crossing opened late 2003.
