Discussions ongoing to open Thai border

[geovalin]

Cambodia and Thailand have agreed on three points of an agenda related to opening additional border crossings and allowing Cambodian workers to return to work in Thailand.

 

A specific date for opening is to be determined pending further medical studies to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

 

Announcement of the progress came after a meeting on December 17 between Cambodian and Thai leaders, held at the request of Thailand’s Sa Kaeo provincial administration. The meeting took place at the Ban Khao Din-Phnom Dey international border checkpoint between Sa Kaeo’s Khlong Hat district and Battambang province’s Sampov Loun district.

Please note, for Cambodian workers only - not other foreigners, ex-pats etc.

With respect why? So that Laos workers can also return to jobs in Thailand? If you are thinking of "visa runs" it is probably going to be a very long time before this happens.

 Yes indeed, as here in Cambodia, a legacy from French Colonial days - such wonderful varieties of daily fresh white, whole meal and whole grain loaves and "sticks" in supermarkets, local bakers and patisseries.
