legally u need apply 1-2 months in advance and get the legal temp admission doc.
easiest,just cross the border at Osmach from Thailand
BUT
hope u realize its not easy anymore to cross into thailand with a vehicle.
u'll need enter from china to Laos to Cambodia
U should be asking how to get into China as thats going to be the tough and expensive one..advance permission, guide, lead vehicle
Good luck

The OP needs to consider whether he wants to enter Cambodia through Thailand, in which case he will need to secure permission 15-30 business days in advance through a Thai travel agency and will require a guide and lead vehicle to accompany him (similar rules to China). The O'Smach entry option into Cambodia may work, but probably he'll be told that he must leave Cambodia through that same crossing necessitating another entry into Thailand with the same advance permission requirements (best to apply for all the entries to Thailand at the same time to avoid delays).Phuket2006 wrote:legally u need apply 1-2 months in advance and get the legal temp admission doc.

I was recently at the Koh Kong crossing. Saw one Malaysian vehicle parked in no mans land that was not allowed to enter Cambodia, but others (also Malaysian) had their paperwork held by customs just like Thai registrations to ensure they exit at the same border. I presume that the Malaysian vehicle refused entry didn't bring along it's registration or something to that effect.
For direct entry into Cambodia through Laos, advance notice is required. Most of the time, Cambodian customs at the Lao-Cambodian border refuses foreign vehicles entry if they just show up, so I would advise against that. Even Lao vehicles are usually told they can only travel as far as Stung Treng and must return the same way they came.
As you say, best option is to apply for official permission through the Cambodian Ministry of Transport and seek advice/permission through a local travel agency with experience guiding foreign tourists traveling in their own vehicle.
Leaving Cambodia will not be easy otherwise because Vietnam also requires advance notice/a guide and lead vehicle while Laos does not. Overall this is going to be a complicated trip with lots of advance planning necessary.

true, about thailand
Whatever entry he uses its not going to be easy.
spot on!!!
another reason to hate the Chinese as their the ones that forced Thailand to place this in effect.REQUEST PERMISSION 10 DAYS BEFORE ENTERING THAILAND
Drivers are required to make requests to drive in Thailand through Thai tourism operators at least 10 days prior to their their trips and have their vehicles checked by authorities.
Transport officials overseeing provinces bordering their countries will consider whether to grant them permission cards.
The 500-baht permission card must be displayed inside the vehicle where they can easily be spotted by Thai officials.
Vehicles will be allowed to travel only in those provinces through which they enter and they will be allowed on Thai roads for 30 days each trip. The total permitted period cannot exceed 60 days in one year.
Travel will only be permitted in the border province entered, except if a guide accompanies the vehicle.
Whatever entry he uses its not going to be easy.
spot on!!!
the old days of overland travels are a thing of the past...As you say, best option is to apply for official permission through the Cambodian Ministry of Transport and seek advice/permission through a local travel agency with experience guiding foreign tourists traveling in their own vehicle.

There seems to be two things that need to be done:
1) Receive clearance / authority from Cambodia Customs
2) Receive approval from Thailand
How does one go about this (particularly on the Cambodian side)?

Are you referring to a Cambodian car? If so, the process is very straightforward, but I think you should consider using only O'Smach or Koh Kong for entry into Thailand as Thai cars going the other way can only easily use these crossings so I can't imagine Thai customs would be lenient enough to allow Cambodian cars to enter wherever they want when Thai cars are being discriminated against. I am going to try the new border crossing at Ban Khao Din - no information as to whether cars are allowed through there but it's a very new crossing.

Yea, was thinking of crossing in Koh Kong to Trat with a Cambodian car. What exactly needs to be done beforehand?black69wolf69 wrote:Are you referring to a Cambodian car?

there many cars/bikes entering Thailand without the required advance permission/permits/guides etc.
Than again some are being refused..
its a crapshoot.
Otherwise just show up, bring ur ownership book/papers in YOUR name, exit Cambodia, enter thailand, fill out the required paperwork at customs, get ur 30 day temp import paper, ask where to buy insurance (1000% required) and drive on.
Both the borders near Pailin are VERY easy for entering Thailand.
I'll be driving back to Camboida next month using the osmach border..

Some have made it across to Thailand without guides but they were very lucky. As it stands the rules are in place and aren't going anywhere. I have barely seen any third country foreign registrations in Thailand since June 2016 and that means the policy is working as it should. After all, it's been published in the Royal Gazette so isn't just some random rule that is conveniently forgotten once the dust settles. Some people may have gotten lucky - I will ask customs when I next enter Cambodia in the next few days from Thailand what they say, just in case I've missed something. For now best to go here for accurate information:over the rainbow wrote:there many cars/bikes entering Thailand without the required advance permission/permits/guides etc.

Cambodian cars and bikes are a different story. They can enter and unofficially at least drive throughout the country not requiring any special paperwork. Just show up with the registration and you'll get permission to cross. I asked at Ban Laem once and told NO vehicles can cross except vehicles going to the casino. Pong Nam Ron may work but Hat Lek (Koh Kong) and Chong Chom (O'Smach) are best as that's where most vehicles enter. At Pong Nam Ron there may be restrictions on how far you can drive, even if not enforced in practice.

Could you provide some examples? Specific details from this group - when was the crossing made? From which border? Country of registration of vehicle (car/motorcycle)?over the rainbow wrote:which border will you use? would like to know if all is as it was for O'smach crossing into Cambodia

Some are getting across, this depends on the official/border involved. However, there are clearly far fewer foreign vehicles in Thailand than used to come prior to 2016. In that time I've seen 1 Indian car and 3 Chinese cars travelling in a convoy with mandatory guide, that's all.
I've been told that off the record, as long as the vehicles concerned are not registered in China or Myanmar/Vietnam they can cross at some borders without needing the guides/permits but this is unofficial, the authorities simply aren't following their own rules. It could also be that because the computerized system, meant to link foreign vehicles with the department of land transport and customs hasn't been implemented yet, customs is being lenient until such time this takes place.
The general trend is to make it more difficult to drive your own vehicle across the border and as governments work towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and start promoting electric vehicles and eventually self-driving vehicles, all the while building infrastructure like high-speed railways everywhere the idea is to eventually do away with independent travelers driving their own vehicles around. Thailand has also come up with another scheme, according to a Bangkok Post article from last year to be implemented starting at the end of this year, but likely will be delayed for some time which is to charge ALL foreign cars (and later on motorcycles) a fee to enter the country by using an RFID chip. A few years later, GPS trackers will become mandatory and a per km charge will be applied for using Thailand's roads. Already Singapore has a similar system in place and Malaysia is currently starting to implement the RFID chip system, with Singaporean cars already being required to have an RFID chip to enter Malaysia with cars coming across the Thai frontier next. Eventually, the entire SE Asian region and beyond will probably be using it.
O'Smach coming into Cambodia is easy. Have heard that Koh Kong will refuse non-Thai registrations (though some Malaysians may still get through) that don't have a permit from Phnom Penh. There was a blog from a UK traveller who finally managed to enter via Koh Kong after travelling to Phnom Penh by taxi and getting the permit, while having his truck parked in no man's land next to the Koh Kong immigration/customs house. Luckily for him, it only took a day or two to organize everything.
