PHNOM PENH (Khmer Times) – Cambodia and Thailand are planning to open four new border crossings in four provinces as part of a move to increase trade between the two countries, officials said yesterday.

The six border crossing points are in Poipet, Koh Kong, Pailin, Battambang, and two are in Oddar Meanchey.

Most goods transfer between Thailand and Cambodia over land via trucks, according to Ministry of Commerce spokesman Ken Ratha, who said that the new checkpoints resulted from bilateral trade discussions earlier this year.

They were beating on their chest two years back about this and nothing came of it. Would be nice but I won't hold my breath.

I thought there were already border crossings at these places. I have certainly used a few of them.
