Forethat Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I was planning to go to Koh Chang, but realised I have to make a visa run during this period. It's very close to Cambodia, but I cant find a border crossing in this region. Is there one at all closer than PoiPet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredob43 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 South on the 318 not sure of town as both my map's give a different name one say's Ban Hat the other Sara Phat Phit but it's the Trat immigration checkpoint I did the run some year's ago, you might get another post with better/correct name. Hope this help's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) The border crossing over there is around 90 KMs away from Trat, and is called Baan Had Lek, it's a little bit further down from Klong Yai. This is the border which crosses in to Koh Kong on the Cambodian Side of the Border. Edit: // There are minibuses that leave the bus station in Trat every 30 minutes or so (during the daytime) for the border (cost around 120 +/- THB One Way and takes around 1.15 Hr) Edited January 1, 2012 by MJCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCM Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Also ban liam just passed pong nam ron about 30 min out of Chanthaburi The border which "retiredusn" refers to, is used by the Visa Run Companies from Pattaya, but a lot further away from Koh Chang and Trat Edited January 2, 2012 by MJCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtoad Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Had Lek is the closest from Koh Chang. Just be prepared for nice delay's on the ferry crossing at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
