Thailand is set to open a new permanent border checkpoint with Malaysia on 11 July, following cabinet approval aimed at improving cross-border trade, tourism, investment, and logistics between the neighbouring countries.
The new Sadao checkpoint, situated between boundary markers 23/9 and 23/10, will replace the existing crossing and operate daily from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., according to a statement from the Thai government.
To support the transition, government agencies have been instructed to speed up the construction of connecting roads, ease traffic congestion around the checkpoint, and introduce shuttle services. Authorities in Thailand’s Songkhla province will oversee the project’s implementation and monitor its progress.
