I did that crossing a year ago…at the time i had a Cambodian visa that i bought in Bangkok….they charged nothing…all the people that didn’t have a visa, were charged many fees….
So guess this is a way to avoid this situation…

I loved reading your post Barbara, and can understand how you resented paying the bribes. Sometimes we have to grin and bear it… Glad you made it safely to the other side

HA! You brought back memories of traveling overland from Bangkok to Cambodia, on my way to Siem Reap. The corruption at the border was pretty bad and the road was almost indescribably horrible. Check out what I went through: http://holeinthedonut.com/2007/04/11/ocerland-to-cambodia-bad-idea/
