Thailand and Myanmar previously announced during a visit to Thailand of Myanmar's Supreme Military Army Commander General Min Aung Hlaing, that the border crossing at Mae Sot, Chaing Rai Province (opposite Shan state) would remain open all day to facilitate cross border trade Crossborder trading between the neighboring states will be promoted with more border checkpoints to open permanently, the general said, but declined to elaborate.
Now during the Myanmar President's visit to Thailand it has been announced that new checkpoints will be opened at Kiu Pha Wok in Chiang Mai ( opposite Kaya State), Ban Hua Ton Noon in Mae Hong Son ( opposite Shan State), Ban Pu Nam Ron in Kanchanaburi ( opposite Pyathuangsu state), and a temporary border crossing in Ratchaburi province (opposite Tanintharyi State).
It has to be decided if all of these posts will be opened for the crossing of tourists or businessmen of none Thai or Myanmar nationality but it is a clear indication of the continued progress in Myanmar towards greater trade and tourism development
