SantiSuk Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 They could start by building some decent public transport links to the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaibah Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 They could start by building some decent public transport links to the area. Agree. This will never happen until there is a descent highway to the crossing. As it is at the moment no large commercial trucks are using this route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakling Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Are they going to have an immigration checkpoint there or is this one of the locals only crossings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaibah Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Are they going to heave an immigration checkpoint there or is this one of the locals only crossings? They already do. Been there for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirchai Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Are they going to have an immigration checkpoint there or is this one of the locals only crossings? The Sisaket Immigration is situated right before Chong Sa Ngam town ( about three km on the right hand side) and yes, there's an immigration checkpoint.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jip99 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Is it finished yet D? ..... it was under construct last time I went, but that was two and a half years ago, I would say it has been open for at least 18 months. There has been a steady flow of minibuses for ages. Last time I was there the hotel was not finished but at least they have got the cash flow started.

Jip99 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 They could start by building some decent public transport links to the area. The good news is that on the other side it is a very pleasant run down to Siem Reap through part of the national park, I have had a couple of issues with washed out bridges in the rainy season. On my last visit (albeit some 12m+ ago) they had made some improvements to the approach road - it was no longer quite like the surface of the moon.

Sounds positive but 12 months is a long time in the lifespan of a Thai/Cambodian road, don't you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
