Craving some high-stakes excitement while vacationing in Pattaya? Say no more. Step beyond the beaches and nightlife of Thailand and venture to Pailin, Cambodia—a lesser-known border town where the casino scene is alive and kicking.
While gambling in Thailand is still officially off-limits (with only whispers of partial legalization making headlines in 2025), many thrill-seekers are heading just across the border to get their gaming fix. That’s where our all-inclusive junket tours come in—offering you a smooth, comfortable ride from Pattaya straight to the heart of Pailin’s casino action.
Welcome to Pailin—or as the locals call the border area, Pbrohm. Once a crucial supply route for the Khmer Rouge, this rugged region has transformed into a buzzing destination for casino lovers. It’s where history meets hedonism, complete with remnants of war and modern gaming hubs like Flamingo Casino, already drawing in crowds, with another casino currently under construction.
Most of the action is concentrated right at the border—just a stone’s throw from Thailand—which is perfect for the majority Thai clientele who prefer to play close to home. Whether you're into baccarat, blackjack, poker, or just the thrill of the slot machines, Pailin’s gaming spots offer a thrilling escape from the everyday.
But the experience goes beyond the tables. On the way to the casino area, you’ll pass the Oh-chah-rah River, a tranquil spot perfect for a quick swim in the clean mountain water, and even drive past a bombed-out tank—a haunting yet fascinating reminder of the region’s turbulent past. It's a journey as memorable as the destination.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Thai border officials typically allow entry and exit between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM with no issues.
- However, the Cambodian side does not officially permit foreign crossings at this point, so unless you're Thai, we recommend using more established crossings like Poipet or Koh Kong for visa purposes.
This restriction does not apply to participants in organized junket tours. So with our guides, you'll have a hassle-free journey to and from Pailin! - The border is just a quick 30-minute ride from Pailin (around 180 baht roundtrip by moto-taxi).
