Singkhon border point to become a permanent crossing

PRACHUAP KHIRI KHAN, 11 October 2014 (NNT) –The Thai and Myanmar leaders have agreed to upgrade the Singkhon border crossing to the status of a permanent crossing point, a government official has advised.

The Governor of Prachuab Khiri Khan, Weera Sriwatanathrakul said that during his official visit to Myanmar, the Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and President Thein Sein discussed an upgrade of the Singkhon border crossing. Both countries agreed that an upgrade could be done before the confirmation of a border area survey report, from the Thai-Myanmar Joint Boundary Commission.

The Thai government can proceed to make an announcement of the upgrade after the approval of cabinet.

There will be a celebration of the opening of the permanent crossing point and activities to promote the relationship between the two countries. This is an important step forward for the economy in Prachuab Khiri Khan province, and helps prepare it for the AEC integration next year, said the governor.

The PM’s visit to Myanmar also saw the signing of a sister cities agreement between Prachuab Khiri Khan province of Thailand and Marid City of Myanmar.

Does this mean it will be open for those on Non-Im O multi to stamp out and in every 90 days?

I think if they say it enough, they think it will come true.

I'm sure I've heard this line at least 3 times in the past 7 years...

And I'm sure it's opened twice... LOL

Is there anything on the Myanmar side of this border crossing ?

Something useful like a national road ?

Is it allowed for farongs to cross into to the Myanmar local market ?

is the market in a no- ones land part, or already after the Myanmar boarder control ??

Thanks

If anybody has any information about whether of not foreigners are allowed into Myanmar through this crossing, that would be very helpful. Or are we allowed into the border town, at least? thanks.

How about providing a link to Google Maps that shows the exact location of the crossing?

You mean like this?

The last I heard no foreigners were allowed to cross this border and I'm sure it's still the same.

They're talking about future changes here, they've been talking about these changes for a long time and nothing much has happened yet.
