RE: 👩🌾 Slo-Mo Gardening & 🛃 A Brief Illegal Entry Into Thailand
It is definitely not like that hear. There is no backtrack into Thailand that Thai guards turn a blind eye to. However, Thailand needs factory workers from Cambodia, and they would prefer to have illegal immigrants over registered foreign workers with visas because they can kick them out of the country without pay whenever they want.
On the border with Thailand there is usually a system though where Cambodians can cross over with ID only during the day for shopping and other things, but they must return before 6pm or they become an illegal alien. My wife is in the process of getting a new ID card so that she can cross like this once the border opens. For me though, I will have to get stamps and full-page passport visas each time I cross, so it's likely I will fill my passport with visas long before it expires. It would probably be cheaper and wiser to get a one-year Thai tourist visa for myself, but first I'll have to research it a bit and see if I am eligible.
It really baffles me reading this and I keep asking myself why the animosity between these Asian countries. Yes, they differ in some ways, but still.... I should really learn more about the history of the Asian continent.
Ok, is it cheaper to shop there or because it's closer for you guys or maybe can't find certain items in Cambodia?
The 1-year-visa will also keep your passport from getting over stamped, because getting a new one for u is also a long process, no?
