Can my Thai tee rak visit Cambodia without a passport?

Post by soup »

Leaving in the a.m. and am considering bringing the drama mama.

She only has an ID with her. Her passport is at home 145 clicks away, so no time to go get it.

Can she enter Cambodia and stay for 3 to 5 days in PP on just a Thai ID?

Thank you!

NO;
needs passport.
Plus taking her to the bars on streets 130 and 136 would not be fun at all :beer3:

Five or six years ago my Thai wife was only allowed in with a full passport. We used to holiday at times in SR.

do u mean the regular thai on the street? Probably has no opinion one way or the other.
My gf has been here 6 years now, has never had a bad word spoken to her :beer3:

Thai's get 14 day visa free entry stamp or they can get a visa like everyone else and stay as long as they like

^True on the entry stamp for Thai's. I remember when I got my visa for 30 days, and she got her stamp for 14 days. she said you can stay twice as long has me. Thai's on the street do talk how unsafe it is for them there, but mostly rumors and jealousy.

So true, Phuket. I considered it since Thai immigration is so unpredictable these days. Having her with me when I cross the border lessens the risk of refusal, even with a visa.

I'm rolling single, at least until 130, 136 or 172nd streets anyway.

Thanks all!

What is "tee rak" supposed to mean? Why do Thai-based foreigners insist on speaking in this ridiculous pidgin?
Silence, exile, and cunning.
