Out and back yesterday for visa run to Cambodia border.

Booked through Key Visa on LK Metro(they sub out the runs though
and not sure if they use more than 1 operator) 2100 baht.

Left around 6.30AM, I was last but one to be picked up, they phoned about 10 minutes before arrival, decent idea.
12 seater minibus, including driver and "guide".
Good overall service, hassle free, think the driver might be
related to Lewis Hamilton though, never realised a minibus
could go so fast.

Brief stops on way out and back, enough time for a quick bite to eat, cigarette break and toilet.

Straight forward at border,think place called Duang or/and
Pong Nam Ron.

All the necessary departure and arrival cards had been filled out for me(and others) so easy going through.
Cross a bridge into Cambodia, some shops and stands selling
cigarettes, whiskey etc.


I had read there would be a lot of hassle from beggars, particularly
young kids.
Not really,they were about but not what I`d consider in a problem way, better behaved than most Pattaya BG drinks mooches.

There`s a Casino as well, walked through it and you can get something to eat there and use toilets if necessary.

I guess the stop there was a little under 1 hour.


Only from a personal POV I`d have preferred if the soundtrack
to the (rubbish) movies played on board wasn`t so loud
or better still, headphones installed, some services have the latter.

Similarly fast run back, all in all OK, maybe about 8 or 9 hours
altogether.
Left me tired but my own fault as there was no chance
of me waking up to catch a 6.30AM service I didn`t bother
going to sleep the night before, stayed awake.

Glad I`ve only got to do it every 90 days,I wouldn`t want
to be staying here and needing to do a run every 2 weeks or so
as some are only getting another 15 days permission to stay
after doing a run.

Overall I`d give the service a thumbs up, might try a different one
next time just as a comparison.
