According to The Cambodia Daily Newspaper, Volume 42, Issue 54 on Monday June 01, 2009.
An upgraded border checkpoint and 13 new border markers were inaugurated along the Cambodia-Vietnamese border in Kampot province Friday, Province Governor Khoy Khun Hour said Sunday. The governor said facilities at the border crossing in Kompong Trach district's Prek Kroes commune had been improved in order to facilitate trade at the crossing, which consists mainly of agricultural goods. The upgraded Ton Hon checkpoint--one of five border crossing between Kampot province and Vietnam--would "be very beneficial for Cambodia to facilitate tourists, goods and people seeking medical treatment in Vietnam," Mr Khun Hour said. He added that between 200,000 and 300,000 tons of paddy rice passes through the checkpoint each week during the rice-harvesting season, which lasts from December to April. Mr Khun Hour added that in the near future, 11 more border markers would be placed on the border between his province and Kieng Giang province in Vietnam.
