Day Passes

[Cool Water Palace]

Do Thai citizens need passports for going to, say, Angkok Wat or across the border from Trat for a day visit? Do they perhaps have to be registered as cross-border traders, although I imagine they'd have passports? I'm using my experience in southern Africa for the suggestion.

Forget about the Burmese and Malaysian borders for obvious reasons.

Someone will correct me if l'm wrong but l think day passes for Thais wanting to cross over to Cambodia are only for those Thais who live in a province that directly adjoins Cambodia. Pretty sure you can't go very far into Cambodia on a day pass anyway, not as far as Angkor Wat. I know my wife used her passport when we went.

My friend was born and lives now in Sa Kaew, but that's not adjoining the border crossing near Trat, and I had thought of your point about the distance to Angkor Wat.

It was just a idea. Passports are more generally useful in any case!

I can't remember for definate, but I think my G'f had to have her ID card aswell as her passport.
