The Inter-ministerial Commission for facilitating the travel and transport of tourists and passengers at international border gates and international gates across Cambodia has initiated to attract Thai tourists to visit Angkor Archaeological Park in Siem Reap province by using only border passes. The initiative was raised during the Inter-ministerial Commission’s meeting held here on Sept. 19 under the chairmanship of its President Thong Khon.

Hor Sarun, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Tourism and Vice President of the Inter-ministerial Commission, said after the meeting that Thong Khon, also Minister of Tourism, will propose the initiative to the Royal Government.

Under the initiative, Thai people residing in provinces bordering Cambodia can cross the border and visit Angkor temples in Siem Reap province by using only border pass, instead of passport, Hor Sarun said, explaining that Thai people in Sa Kaeo province can enter Banteay Meanchey province of Cambodia, then continue to Siem Reap, while those in Surin province can cross the border to Oddar Meanchey province, and then Siem Reap province.
