I'm sure you're right.Originally Posted by brian_bkk
They wont care as there is no nation wide system that logs this.. So in theory you could leave via any sanctioned border crossing.
That customs slip is really a placebo that makes us feel good against the cops asking for money.. They will just find something else
I really would not be concerned..

I came down from PP and I was planning to turn right to KK, but changed my mind and headed down to SV.
Guess what, just before I got here, after the factory, the road was coned and about 6 BiB are just pulling bikes in - about 4pm.
I am a bit conspicuous and they were clearly excited at the prospect of a good catch.
The guy spoke very good English and it was a bit deja vu.
First the International Driver's Licence - OK no problem.
Next the Thai paperwork - not convinced he could read it but OK.
Then, before I produced the Customs form from Poipet, he launched into the same speech I'd heard before.
"So now you have problem because from Koh Kong you can only stay KK Province, so......"
I let him finish and then I said "Yes I know, your boss told me before".
"OK so you know you have big problem".
"No, because this time I come from Poipet and I have the correct paper - no problem" and I passed him the form.
He was clearly very disappointed and gave me the papers back.
Then he said I was speeding. I said no, cannot, too many cars.
Finally he said my Thai number plate wasn't legal and I should have a Cambodian one.
At that point I just shrugged in disgust and put my helmet back on. He said OK you can go.
The bottom line to all this is that I am now totally convinced that you cannot go in via Koh Kong and travel down to SV...or anywhere else in Cambodia, legally and hassle free.
As rookie has said - Poipet OK and you should get this.
