Poipet crossing

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Poipet crossing

Post by chiltern »

I was expecting some goods to be sent from Bangkok to Phnom Penh on the bus via Poipet on Friday but have been told they cant dispatch it as they have been told that the crossing could be closed for several days. Probably nothing in it just the usual Khmer rumour mill.

I just crossed the border from Thai back in to Cambodia.

a little quieter than I expected. 3 police roadblocks on the thai side getting increasingly well manned with a passport check at the last (about 15km out from the border)

some police and military on the cambodian side but nothing that gave the impression of armageddon. No hold ups or extra checks.

I would say business as usual but people are avoiding it because they didnt know that

They never close the border except for the regular night times.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
