Where the Hell is the Cambodian Embassy in Bangkok?

I blew nearly two days just trying to get my Cambodian visa in order to visit Angkor Wat. All this to save, what, a few minutes at the border?

So, it turns out that the Cambodian embassy is not in Lhumpin Park anymore. As of around October, 2007, it has moved to the Northeast of Bangkok, near Huai Khwang. To get there, take the “M” line to Huai Khwang or the Thailand Cultural stop on MRT. Then, ask a taxi or motorcycle to take you to the Cambodian Embassy. I’ll post the Thai for that later.

The exact coordinates are N0313.76809,E100.59631. It’s on Pratcha Uthit at Saha Kan Pramun.

Incidentally, Saha Kan Pramun is where the Harley Davidson dealership is. I don’t recommend going there, however, since Harleys are crap and their simple tee shirts are 1,200 baht!

Cambodian visa details: 1,100 baht as of January 6, 2009. Requires a passport photo and a photocopy of your current passport (10 baht if you don’t bring it, don’t know how much if you forget the passport photo). Takes about 15 minutes from the time you file your paper work. The embassy closes for lunch from, if I recall correctly, noon until 2:00pm.
