Si vous pouvez ne pas passer par la
même route que nous, faites-le. Car il y a un certain nombre de
choses peu plaisantes. Premièrement, après avoir traversé le bout
de Mekong en bateau, nous avons été induit, ou presque, à donner
de l'argent à la personne qui accompagnait le trajet. Il s'agit d'un
trajet uniquement pour touristes. Ce n'est apparemment pas une route
et une douane que les locaux utilisent beaucoup.

From Bangkok to Siem Reap
To enter Vietnam overland, I found out on Internet, that it was better to have a visa before getting to the border. So during my stay in Bangkok, I decided to go the Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to apply for a visa. On Internet I also found a government website where you could buy apply and pay for your visa. But it said it's only for air travelers. The price mentioned, was something like USD 45 for the visa, and USD 17 for the letter of approval, totaling USD 62. But at the embassy, wanting to pay USD 62 in US Dollars, they told me I had to pay 2'500 Baht (about USD 80). So I went to change my USD to Baht at a nearby bank.
