Remote border crossings

Rather than use the overland route, we decided to cross the Vietnam-Cambodia border via the Mekong River.  A five hour ride in a high speed boat stopping twice, once to stamp OUT of Vietnam at Song Tien and the other for our visa and stamp IN to Cambodia at Kaamsamnar-Kohrokar.
Filling out our immigration and customs forms.  Courtesy fees were not uncommon at our remote border crossings.

Hello Phnom Penh!
