I admit, I recall vaguely that you cannot leave Cambodia the same day you arrive. I had forgotten that and ran into a lot of crap today, in particular as the airline let me check in. Luggage gone, passed security, got nailed at immigration. The immigration boss was desperate to make some cash but kept going on about Cambodian laws and how all of Cambodia respected the same. This whilst I am listening to his boys soliciting "tea money" from every Vietnamese, Chinese, and Taiwanese that passed.
Things got a little ugly but luckily the person I called trumped the person he called. I do not expect any favors at immigration from now on. Oh, and I will be trying to do the same thing net Tuesday.
P.S.: apparently crossing land borders multiple times a day is OK.

That's Siem Reap only Hanno. Not sure why? To ensure tourists spend a night and leave some more money in the country?
You can fly in/out of Phnom Penh within a day. Which makes sense as otherwise business travellers would be screwed.
Have fun next Thursday!

people do it all the time on the thai borders
Sometimes the Cambodians charge you an extra 300 baht if they think ur stupid.
why would someone want to do it multiple times in a day at $30/visa?

Land borders are OK so the people can come in and gamble?
I have a multiple-entry visa so cost is not the issue.
Changed my ticket to today as I want to avoid the crap.
