Bordernews Laos to Cambodia
 

Hello!

News from overland border crossing Laos to Cambodia.

At Khong, down south of Laos there is the only legal landborder from Laos to Cambodia. It is a little bit difficult to find the right way to the border, because they have a massive roadwork on the run.
Brandnew is the fact, that they do Visas for Cambodia there now! It only costs 30$, only 10$ more then normal. And that is fair enough, I think.:thumbup1:

Meaby we get a problem when we leave the country because they don’t give us import papers for our bike. We show them our Carnet, but they say, they are not allowed, and other papers they don’t have. So we try and try, but even when we make a lot of pressure: We don’t get any papers for the bike! See what happen in 3 days when we leave to Thailand.

On the Lao borderside, they charge 1$ per Passport. They (and we) know that this isn’t official, but they otherwise they don’t stamp your passport, so…………….:mad2:

Exactly the same on the Cambodian borderside. 1$ each. No way around this “sweet”. :mad2:


Safe travels

check the www.GT-rider.com forum for exact details, but you can get legal in Stung Treng. There's a customs official who rides a nighthawk and who is more than happy to get your temporary import papers cleared.
From the roundabout at the boat landing, go right, over a wooden bridge and then another 100 odd meters.

Here are the coordinates:

N 13° 54.963
E 106° 04.319

That'd be right, now I really do need to buy a GPS. Been thinking of a basic one so might as well

sorry did the bikes get across borders aswell?
 

just a bit confused about whether you managed to get your bikes across the borders? could you clarify. cheers. JG
