I’m doing a border run to Poipet today, got a 3 day over stay. Any possibility I’ll be refused re-entry? Just got back here after 3 years so it’s not a bounce it’s my first visit in 3 years

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about the possibility of being refused re-entry to Thailand after a 3-day overstay while planning a border run to Poipet. Comments suggest avoiding Poipet due to the overstay, cautioning that re-entry risks are high, especially without a visa run agency. Alternatives like flying to Ho Chi Minh City or using other border crossings are recommended to mitigate risks.

Okay, I think the O/P has enough information to figure out where to go for a border bounce.

Thanx for the comments (y)

okay, you did read that they just want to border bounce <- as in go to the border, stamp out of thailand, stamp in and out of another country and then stamp right back into thailand..

they are NOT wanting to go to a thai consulate in another country to BUY a visa, they just want to bounce out and back in.. Why would they fly to Ho Chi Minh CIty and back to do that OR spend 6+ hours slogging to the Nong Khai border?

And what would possess you to go all the way to the Nong Khai border just to bounce out and back?

unless you're going with a visa run agency I would say you have a HIGH chance of being denied entry when you try to stamp back in and being told to go to Phnom Penh and fly in.

What in the world would make you to go to possibly the WORST border crossing in all of thailand?

 you're 4 hours and change from the Phu Nam Ron Border crossing with Myanmar in Kanchanaburi and you're 6 PLUS hours from Nong Khai ;)

I'd say bounce out and back in for a 30 day visa exempt entry (as long as you don't have TWO 30 day visa exempt entries this year) OR are activating a new entry on a multi-entry visa at The Myanmar border.

Poipet is to be avoided normally, let alone with an overstay. Please let us know how you get on,
