First time crossed into thailsamd from malsysisa ib stuipidly thought I could use a carnet.i also was missing an exit stamp from Malaysia so the Thai the customs officer gave me a list of agents to give 'fast' help.
Since then I realised might have misunderstood something. she gave me the list becauase they were all people who could get me into Thailand at the next checkpoint along within 4 hours that day. rather than 4-5 days getting TIP normal way.
live and learn because 3 hours later I was legally in Thailand and have since crossed Thai/cambodia with additional 30 extensions given for free in both at countries - no attempt at graft any all. Alsop crossed Lao /THAiland using agent services but my experioence showed me DIY m might be possible.
