How to Cross the Thailand - Cambodian Border

After a month of being in Thailand, it was time for me to cross the border into Cambodia. I went online to research from other people on how to do this border crossing, as I've done so many in South America, Central America and in South east Asia as well. The information I gathered, showed that this was not an easy crossing to make as theire was a lot of paperwork to complete and there were scams to encounter. However, I discovered that this was one of the easiest crossings that I had done!
I recommend that you too online and complete an EVISA from the Cambodian government website at:
www.evisa.gov.kh
Do not use any other website as there is the possibility that they will charge you more.
Once you have your EVISA (should take up to 4 days), get 2 copies printed off. Your hostel or hotel will direct you to the shop that will do this.
Buses run to the border directly from Trat or Khlong Yai, costing around 100 Baht, depending where you are taking the bus from.
Once at the border, you will get your fingerprints and photo taken by the Thailand immigration side and is straight forward.
When you walk through to the Cambodian side, there will be a lot of people who will want to help you. They are basically taxi drivers looking for a fare and they will charge you more than you should pay!
Go straight to the immigration booth. Do not take any health checks. They are a Scam to take more money.
Complete a form that the immigration office gives you. Give both copies of your EVISA and they will keep one and stamp the other with the date of entry. The form you complete will be stapled into your passport. Do not lose either of them, as they are required at the departure immigration office.
If you have any questions, then please leave a comment and I will try to answer it.

Stayed at the Apex hotel before. Really liked the exotic interior with the swimming pool. The food they served was delicious. The price was most reasonable to.

Looks good hard work today! ❤

When I was inthaikand last year I took uk cash and changed it in money exchange never needed to use atm at all 😊

[@olderbackpacker]

Because I have money going into my UK account every month, I wasn't able to take all the money I needed. Plus, sometimes I go backpacking for 6 months at a time and to carry that much UK money would be dangerous :)

[@stanleymoore8084]

@@olderbackpacker yes I see where your coming from , the previous times I was there I used atm cash machine or card

[@robertdodd8312]

Welcome to scambodia.

[@olderbackpacker]

Yeah… I get the feeling I need to be careful with scams!

[@robertdodd8312]

@@olderbackpacker yes,the most costly ones are from using US Dollars, try to use the local riel currency. Also if you use tuk tuks a lot put the pass app on your phone it gives you the set price, so they can't overcharge you. If you venture into any hostess bars keep an eye on your bill for padding. Apart from that you should have a great time in the kingdom of plunder 😀

[@stanleymoore8084]

Thank you for the quick response to my question , do you just have American dollars or use the atm as you travel around 😊

[@olderbackpacker]

I just use ATMs all the way and so far, in Cambodia, they just give me US dollars!

[@stanleymoore8084]

Hi enjoyed your video ,when you entered Thailand did you not need an exit flight out of Thailand after 30 days ??

[@olderbackpacker]

No you don’t need an exit flight. They know that so many backpackers come into their country with no idea of when they’re leaving that it’s not needed. There’s a lot of countries like that.

[@wayneleader2364]

Enjoy Cambodia mate 👍

[@olderbackpacker]

Thanks! 😃

[@kevinfrancismcmahon2619]

No you don't you get another 30 day renewal before you have to go Cambodia

[@olderbackpacker]

I think my accent might be getting in the way :) I don’t think I said anything about a renewal?

[@danwilliams8695]

If you don't like noise don't come to Asia
