آیا مرز زمینی کامبوج-تایلند باز است؟ وضعیت ۲۰۲۶ برای مسافران آمریکایی
خیر. هر هفت مرز زمینی تایلند-کامبوج از ژوئن ۲۰۲۵ بسته شدهاند و هیچ تاریخ قطعی برای بازگشایی مجدد در سال ۲۰۲۶ وجود ندارد. اینجا آن چیزی است که این موضوع برای مسافران آمریکایی معنا میدهد، چرا مسیر قدیمی پویپت دیگر فعال نیست، و چگونه سفر خود را بر اساس این شرایط برنامهریزی کنید.
Is the Cambodia-Thailand land border open for US travelers in 2026?
No. All seven Thailand-Cambodia land borders have been closed since June 2025, and they remain closed in 2026 with no confirmed reopening date. You cannot walk or drive across from Thailand into Cambodia on any visa right now — that includes the Poipet crossing on the Bangkok-to-Siem Reap road and Cham Yeam near the coast. This is a border closure, not a problem with your eVisa: the visa is perfectly valid, there is just no open Thai crossing to present it at. If your trip pairs the two countries, connect them by air. Bangkok to Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, or Sihanoukville are all short, frequent flights, and your Cambodia eVisa is accepted the moment you land at the Cambodian airport.
نکات کلیدی
- No — every one of the seven Thailand-Cambodia land borders has been closed since June 2025, and the closure is still in force in 2026 with no confirmed reopening date.
- The classic overland route — Bangkok to Siem Reap by minibus across Poipet — does not run in 2026. You connect the two countries by air instead.
- The closure is a border issue, not a visa issue. Your Cambodia eVisa is valid; there is simply no open Thai crossing to use it at.
- Vietnam and Laos land crossings remain open and eVisa-eligible, so a broader Indochina loop is still doable overland — only the Thailand legs are off the table.
- For air entry, your eVisa works at Techo International (KTI), Siem Reap-Angkor (SAI), and Sihanouk (KOS) — plus a separate, mandatory e-Arrival Card, 14 fields, $5 USD verified through us, filed within 7 days before you fly.
The short answer, and why it changed in 2026
All seven crossings, and which ones you were probably planning to use
Why the border closed, and how long it is likely to stay shut
What the closure means for a Thailand-and-Cambodia trip
- Building a temple-first trip: fly Bangkok to Siem Reap (SAI) and start at Angkor Wat — no land transfer, no closed crossing, eVisa accepted on arrival.
- Heading to the capital: fly Bangkok to Phnom Penh (KTI), the new Techo International field that replaced the old airport in September 2025.
- Coast and islands: fly Bangkok to Sihanoukville (KOS) rather than driving toward the closed Cham Yeam crossing on the Koh Kong road.
- Booking ground transport that claims to cross the land border: do not. Operators occasionally still advertise the old Poipet run — it is not operating for tourist entry, and you will be turned back.

سوالات متداول
Is the Cambodia-Thailand land border open in 2026?
No. All seven Thailand-Cambodia land borders have been closed since June 2025 and remain closed in 2026, with no confirmed reopening date. You cannot cross overland from Thailand into Cambodia on any visa right now, including the Poipet crossing on the Bangkok-to-Siem Reap road. If your trip pairs the two countries, fly the leg — Bangkok to Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, or Sihanoukville are all short flights, and your eVisa is accepted the moment you land.
Can I cross into Cambodia by land from Thailand with an eVisa?
No, but not because of the visa. Your Cambodia eVisa is valid; the Thailand land crossings are physically closed to tourist entry, so there is no open border where you can present it. The fix is not a different visa — it is to fly the Thailand leg into one of the three Cambodian airports (KTI, SAI, or KOS), where your eVisa is accepted on arrival.
Why did the Cambodia-Thailand border close?
The closure stems from a border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia that escalated in mid-2025, after which both sides sealed the land crossings to ordinary travelers. For tourists the politics matter less than the practical result: the gates have been shut for about a year and there is no confirmed date for them to reopen. Plan as though they will stay closed for your trip.
Is the Poipet border crossing open?
No. Poipet, opposite Aranyaprathet on the Bangkok-to-Siem Reap road, is the busiest of the seven crossings and has been closed along with all the others since June 2025. The old overland route from Bangkok to Siem Reap through Poipet does not run for tourist entry in 2026. Fly Bangkok to Siem Reap instead — it is about an hour and lands you right by the temples.
How do I get from Thailand to Cambodia in 2026?
By air. Bangkok connects directly to all three Cambodian airports: Siem Reap-Angkor (SAI) for Angkor Wat, Techo International (KTI) for Phnom Penh, and Sihanouk International (KOS) for the south coast. The flights are short and frequent, and your Cambodia eVisa is accepted on arrival at each one. There is no open land route between the two countries at the moment.
Can I still do an overland Indochina loop through Cambodia?
Yes, with one adjustment. The Vietnam and Laos land crossings remain open and eVisa-eligible — Bavet and Kaam Samnor from Vietnam, Trapeang Kriel from southern Laos — so a Vietnam-to-Cambodia or Laos-to-Cambodia overland leg works fine. The only segment off the table is the Thailand land border, which is closed. Fly that leg, and the rest of the loop is still doable by land.
