Really easy, they drop you off , it's alittle walk through customs, get there as early as possible, then I highly recommend that you buy a ticket only to poipet, it's so much easier to get transpiration , and find it, I booked all the way from Bangkok from Phnom, Penh, overnight bus, supposed to be a single sleeper, they woke, we left P.O. about 11, the sleeper was cool, until , they stopped near Siem Reap, 3 am we changed busses, I know had a bunk mate in a single bunk, ( he turned out to be one of my best friends in Phnom Penh) we got to the border poipet, pretty easy to get through , ( I'm usa ) but I got free 30 days in Thailand) anyway my bunk mate walked me for twenty minutes to find the bus I was supposed to be on, considering I payed through to Bangkok. But I passed a lot of busses taxis , vans all wanting your business, cheaper overall, the thing is once you get to the border , you have better , and more convenient transportation options , good travels, I'm no expert this has been my experience, the second time , I walked right across the border ,and got a ride to Bangkok in 10 minutes, yes I believe they have a exchange for dong , right at the border ,if it's not free, I'm thinking you get free 30 days also? Look it up

Twinsguy, he wants to turn around at the border and back into Cambodia same day.
So after getting the free Thai visa-on-arrival [15 days for land crossing], turn around, stamp out of Thailand and apply for your Cambodian visa.
That's all.

Catchy, just come over and have a look yourself. Just an indication: Honda Airblade costs between $65 and $100 a month.
On top you posted on the wrong thread, this is Siem reap forum, Horror stories about visa runs.
Please post on a correct forum and thread.
