New tourist site discovered

Post by lomuamart »

Just seen on TNA that a new tourist site has been discovered in the upper reaches of Pratchuap province.
Apparantly, it's of an old warriors' passage between Burma and Thailand at Singkhorn Checkpoint, the narrowest point of Thailand. It seems development is already underway to turn it into a "major" tourist attraction that will welcome both Thai and foreign visitors.
Unless I've got it wrong, isn't this where the border crossing is supposed to be? Maybe the development that people have spoken about in the past is just for the tourist potential, not for visa runs?

I was at Dan Sing Khon last month. There is a Thai military checkpoint there and neither Thais nor farangs were allowed to cross the border - it was for Burmese only.
