Mario2008 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Buri Ram to Open New Border Pass with Cambodia A new border pass with Cambodia will open in Buri Ram Province on September 14. Buri Ram Governor Thanee Samartkit said a new temporary border pass called Chong Sai Taku in Chanthop Phet Subdistrict in Buri Ram's Ban Kruat District, opposite to Am Pun Subdistrict in Udon Meechai's Ban Tia Am Pun District of Cambodia, is expected to open on September 14. He noted that both Thailand and Cambodia have vowed to extend their cooperation to prevent and suppress cross-border crimes and drug smuggling, as well as improve collaboration among local government officials to increase efficiency to tackle shared problems. The governor added there will be more clarity about goods to be distributed at the border pass after the upcoming discussion between soldiers and local administration officials of the two nations. -- Tan Network 2011-09-05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 It is unclear if this will also be open to other nationalities besides Thai and Cambodian. Also note that for now it is a temporary border pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orac Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 The map does not show a road on the Cambodian side - anyone have any personal experience ? Wonder if they have built a casino there yet - maybe that is why there is no Cambodian road and they are just going to supply everything from Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prakhonchai nick Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 There are many roads in the border area (Cambodia side0 all leading to Samrong, from where there is a reasonable road to siem reap. I doubt that the border will be available for foreigners to cross -certainly whilst temporary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_brownstone Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 There are many roads in the border area (Cambodia side0 all leading to Samrong, from where there is a reasonable road to siem reap. I doubt that the border will be available for foreigners to cross -certainly whilst temporary. I sincerely doubt that this new Border Pass was opened with even a thought of it being a convenience to the Farang "Tourist / Border Run" pack of hounds. There are far more lucrative benefits for Government Officials on both sides of the Border in having their own privately controlled Crossing.
