reader Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 From Phnom Penh Post Cambodia and Thailand plan to officially open a new international border checkpoint in mid-May, an official confirmed on Sunday. Keo Bunthoeun, deputy border police chief at Unit 817, said officials agreed to inaugurate the Phnom Dev International Border Checkpoint, which connects Battambang province and Thailand’s Sa Kaeo province, on May 18. Ngin Linazano, director of the Phnom Dev immigration office, said the border checkpoint building has been completed and is just awaiting the installation of equipment to monitor the flow of tourists. “We expect that the upgrade of the Phnom Dev border checkpoint to an international border checkpoint will bring development for people and the governments of both countries since it will enable larger and wider commercial flow,” he said. The existing checkpoint currently allows Cambodian and Thai nationals to cross for the purposes of work and trade. https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/cambodia-thailand-agree-open-international-border-checkpoint-mid-may ChristianPFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Not entirely sure where this is, but if it DIRECTLY connects those 2 provinces, it has to be somewhere around : https://goo.gl/maps/SzQDvVDKCNB2 Considering the road links, I'm not sure what advantage this has. No doubt another road can be built, so it may offer a quicker route to Battambang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
