Title: Parking @ Chong Chom Border Crossing
Post by: andy on October 06, 2024, 06:50:48 PM

Does anyone know if you can still park your car with the border police at Chong Chom when taking a two / three day trip to Siem Reap?
I know you used to be able to do this (was 100 baht a day), but I just want to confirm I can before I head out there.

I've not been there for a few years.

I doubt they'd stop the parking. It's a money spinner.

Just to let people know you can park at the Chong Chom border, but not with the immigration police as before. 
You have to park on the opposite side of the road, where there's a parking compound; this looks to be a privately run, however I could be wrong.
The cost of parking for a farang is 90 baht a day / night.
Personally I'm not going to do this, because when there I had a gut feeling that on my return my truck might not be there.
