Hi all ,,
tried to enter Cambodia at Poipet this afternoon,
No go ,
Did all the right stuff ,,out of Thailand no issue but got collared by a Cambodian Immigration guy and told that I MUST go to the Customs office before I leave town!
So I did and was advised that I could not take a Thai bike into Cambodia via Poipet unless I had a carnet or a government clearance document that cannot be issued on the spot,
Well I thought this was just a tea money issue ,,but I tried all angles and got a definite NO!!!
What the guy did tell me was that the smaller entry points are still ok ,,just not Poipet!!
Would like to hear from anyone else who has got through recently??
All was not bad as I was only going in for a visa run anyway ,,but if you want to do some touring then suggest that you confirm first or avoid Poipet.
