The border trade between Thailand and Cambodia from January to April
this year is worth over 26 billion baht, which is an increase of 25.5 percent
year-on-year.
According to Mr. Sittiporn
Bangkaew, Director of the Surin Provincial Office of Commercial Affairs, Surin
province shares a border of over 120 kilometers with Cambodia at Buachet,
Phanom Dong Rak, Kap Choeng and Sangkha districts. He said ahead of the
formation of the ASEAN Community in 2015, the border trade in the area has
flourished, with approximately 900 million baht being generated each year at
the Chong Jom border checkpoint.
As for the overall situation of
the Thai-Cambodian border trade, about 70 billion baht was circulated along the
border for the whole year of 2011 while more than 26 billion baht has already
been seen from January-April this year, up 25.5 percent from the same period
last year. Thailand is recording a trade surplus of around 20 billion baht.
Trades over the border have been
continuously supported and promoted by Surin province, Mr. Sittiporn said,
which is also in line with Thailand’s commercial policy aiming to strengthen
bilateral trade relations with its neighbors and other nations in the ASEAN
region.
Mr. Sittiporn said in addition
that trade, tourism and investment conferences have also been set up in
Cambodia in a bid to raise understanding among stakeholders and reduce business
barriers between the two countries.
