Casino Hotel Cambodia

[Shit_Happens 31]

In January I plan on taking a trip to the Casino on the Cambodian border at Surin / Asmech. The net has some details about a Hotel attached to the Casino. It tells me its called Casino O Samet Hotel and has 100 rooms but thats all.

Has anybody any info, either first hand or a website that they might know.

shit_happens,

 

Here is a site that should get you the area to check on hotel reservations for the hotel your asking about. Hope this helps. I plan a return trip to Cambodia in April and was thinking of going thru that area. Let us know how it was. Thanks

Thanks Leo Tex. I found that site before posting. Its the only reference on the net that I could find. It tells you that they have 100 room but when you go into the reservations section the hotel cannot be located, which is not a very promising start.

have been here many times.main reason is that its only a 10 minute drive from my wifes families house and they have farang toilets there..but thats another story..

 

 

firstly the cambodian part of the border is called osmach..when you walk through the gates at the border..the casino is about 100 metres on the left hand side..and theres a big hotel on the right hand side..

 

but have no idea of the name of the hotel..you stop at a car park about 500 metres before the border and baht buses take you to the border..

 

another thing i should mention..not sure if it concerns over night stays..but if you only go as far as the casino and no further..you do not require a cambodian visa...about another 300 metres past the casino is one of the cheapest markets i have ever been to..you need a cambodian visa for here

Thanks Rabbitoh. I might just turn up and hope for a room. Is it straight forward getting a Cambodian visa. I am Australian and my wifes Thai but holds dual passports, Thai & Australian.

The rooms for me as my wife is genetically driven to gamble all night or until the money runs out.

theres a cambodian immigration office just over the border..just go there and pay 1000 baht and they will give you a visa..i don't think thais need a visa...my wifes allowed to go to the market without having to pay anything..she goes there while i wait in the casino..don't expect anything flash there..its mainly all one arm bandits there..can't ever recall seeing any blackjack or roulette tables

Thanks Rabbitoh, it will be worth the trip and some sightseeing just to check it out. I am sure my wife will find something to bet on.
