Cambodia in the Shiney Season Visa runs from Thailand

Well it is that time of the year when the Monsoons start. This year besides the rain we are getting quite a few people from Thailand on Visa runs, now the runs are extended, as the new visa laws in Thailand mean that allot of the Thai visa runners need to stay out of Thailand for 90 days.

Some might consider the overland trip from Bangkok to Cambodia, with a fork to either Phnom Penh or Sihanoukville. A picture from last year around this time.


Another picture at the customs at Thailand Cambodia border, just before the place where you apply for visa in Cambodia.
