You can also call it Aran. Also, as a long time Thai resident, it's respectful to use the proper terminology. If I referred to Aran or Khlong Leuk as Poipet, immigration and customs officials there would be quite offended. I've passed through there many times, in recent times mainly leaving Thailand and re-entering through a different border.

@Wannikea ********

It's called Aranyaprathet in Thailand. Avoid giving it the improper name. Poipet is the name of the town on the Cambodian side and there's nothing wrong with their immigration, it's only the Thai side that is the problem and then ONLY when entering, not when exiting Thailand.

Car is fine, but best to spend a couple of days in Cambodia (though not required) before returning.

One agent said that but there may still be others who can help.

Simple, bring your lease and owners ID and house registration or if it's a friend or your Thai wife hosting you, instead of a lease a letter indicating this but again, their signed ID card copy and house registration.

@Sean ******

It's not impossible. Depends on the bank and/or branch.

@Dany *******

Agreed. I have backups for Wise, in case of issues

Nearly all countries give you up to 90 days to utilize their visas and in many cases longer. For the DTV, it's valid for 5 years from the date of issue. You get almost 6 months (180 days) on each entry during the visa validity.

@Nestor *******

Communist countries love control.

Laos is another one - although they allow foreign cars and motorcycles in, they now permit vehicles in for 15 days only, plus the possibility of a paid 7 day extension.

Up until recently, you got 30 days for free automatically.

Why exactly they made these changes is a mystery but it's typical Communist mentality.

By comparison, Thailand might allow a 60 day stay for drivers of foreign vehicles if you ask.

@Uwe ***

I agree with you on the tax issue...it's merely a reinterpretation not a new law anyway.
