Myanmar has agreed to reopen Three Pagoda Pass border crossing today (July 27) after Thai authorities agreed that they suspended a border road construction temporarily during the rainy season.

 

Myanmar soldiers closed the border checkpoint between Payathonzu town on the Myanmar side and Thailand’s Three Pagoda Pass in Sangkhlaburi district on Wednesday (July 26) in a protest against the expansion of Highway  323 from Sangkhlaburi to the Three Pagoda Pass that caused rainwater and mud to flood the Myanmar border town.

 

Myanmar residents complained that the past few days there were heavy downpours in the area, causing the rainwater and mud to flow from the road being expanded to Payathonzu town on the Myanmar side.
