for Cambodia I got the following information during my stay, but I didn't try this route. And I heard both countries are not always assure to open this border.
  • Guesthouses in Don Det arrange for Cambodia VIP bus and tourist visa.
  • The bus leaves at 8 am. from Nakasang.
  • Visas on arrival are NOT available at Veun Kham, Cambodia border.
