PHNOM PENH– Cambodia and Thailand’s new international border checkpoint officially announced to open in mid-May.

The Phnom Dey International Border Checkpoint, which links Battambang province of Cambodia and Sa Kaeo province of Thailand, is set to open on May 18, said Keo Bunthoeun, Deputy border police chief at Unit 817, according to local reports.

The border checkpoint building has been completed, what remains is the installation of equipment to facilitate the flow of tourists, according to Ngin Linazano, Director of the Phnom Dey immigration office.
