Kan Win Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Pagodas border crossing with Myanmar reopens KANCHANABURI, Aug 28 (TNA) - The Thai-Myanmar border at Three Pagodas Pass in this western province was reopened Tuesday after being closed for five months. On the border at Three Pagodas Pass, in Sangkhla Buri district, some 350 km northwest of Bangkok, authorities from Thailand and Myanmar jointly witnessed the reopening of the border gate by a Myanmar government official following an order by his country's government. Traffic at the border point will be allowed exclusively for a tin mining concessionaire to transport tin into Thailand. The company is under contract to the Myanmar government. Temporarily the border has been opened for three days only, between August 28 and 30, after which it will be closed again until September 6 when nationals of both countries will be allowed to cross the border. Myanmar authorities sealed the border at Three Pagodas Pass for the last five months without giving any reason. (TNA) MCOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asiaworld Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Best is to give them a call to make sure, 0-345-95335 this is the Sangkhlaburi checkpoint number . Also bear in mind, that if you are about to do visa run of sorts, this checkpoint is useless, as you may enter for a daytrip only & NO stamps are put in your passport .

Nota lot, just a little market but its quaint The border is definitely not open and will remain closed for a good while yet, they have taken the Burmese soldiers away probably to help torture a few trouble making civilians who have the cheek to want to be free and to have enough to eat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
