Khmer...ya wanna buy yerself a visa?

Oh baby amigos...Nogales has nothing on the border between Thailand and Cambodia   Poipet (sounds like Snagglepuss) has fleas...and they are all trying to separate you from as much of your money as possible!  It starts before you even get to the border...negotiating the bus trip to the border (and I suggest NEVER traveling without Cassandra) was a major battle.  We get about 5 km from the border and stop for lunch.  This is to let the smarmy guys come around and try to sell you an expedited visa...at TWICE the price you have to pay.  They tell you you will be in line for hours, and they won't wait for you that long.  When you say no, someone else comes along and sells for less...they got 4 suckers in our group, took their passports and put them in a different bus...they finished about 5 minutes ahead of us.  Even at the border people in official uniforms try to get money for things you don't need...at the visa office they guy taking our visa money said it was an extra 100 Baht ($3.50) to hand the money to the visa officer...Cassandra said f--- off...oh he said, I'll waive that fee!  Welcome to Scamland!!!  And I say "I'll drink to that!"
