Battambang Opens Thai Border Gates to Traders
Three Battambang border gates open
Thou Vireak | Publication date 24 March 2021 | 21:29 ICT
Cambodia and Thailand agreed to reopen three regional border checkpoints in Battambang province on March 23 to facilitate trade.
Battambang Provincial Administration deputy governor Soeum Bunrith told The Post the following day that goods began to flow across the checkpoints on the same day of the agreement.
He identified the crossings as O’Anlok in Kamrieng district, O’Romduol in Phnom Proek district – linking to Soi Dao district in Thailand’s Chanthaburi province – and International Border Gate No 400 in Samlot district – connecting to Trat province’s Bo Rai district.
“We opened these checkpoints to allow goods produced by farmers [into Thailand] such as cassava, Keo Romiet mangoes and red corn. With the harvest season underway, we knew we had to sort things out for farmers.
“Opening up [the checkpoints] to goods traffic will prop up the livelihoods of the people in the border areas by setting up markets for them,” Bunrith said.
Provincial governor Nguon Rattanak stressed in a March 19 letter that the checkpoints would only be open to trade and to Cambodian and Thai nationals, who must comply with Covid-19 prevention measures.
“The exchange and loading of goods must be done in the vicinity of each border gate. Freight passes through the gates from 8am to 5pm,” he said, adding that no more than two people would be allowed per vehicle.
