After this Singkhon border trade market was closed during the COVID-19 outbreak situation. And at present, the Thai side has opened a border checkpoint. But listening to neighboring countries, Myanmar has not yet opened a checkpoint for people to travel in and out. Because the border situation in Myanmar is still not peaceful. Therefore, the majority of merchants who come to sell products in this market area are Thai people. And there are Myanmar people who have come to stay on the Thai side legally. and did not return to the country after the border checkpoint was closed and brought products to sell as well It is expected that from now on the border trade conditions in this area will likely progressively improve. This will create millions of baht in circulation in the area.
A Myanmar vendor reveals that her husband is Thai. I have family on the Thai side. Have a passport allowing you to stay in Thailand Came to sell products at this area since the beginning of the new market opening. And later the COVID-19 situation occurred. I still open the shop as usual. Because he had to sleep on the Thai side because he was unable to return to Myanmar because the border checkpoint was closed. As for the various products being sold, they are brought from Ranong Province, Three Pagodas Pass, and Ratchaburi Province, etc. After the market opens today, there will be Myanmar friends from Mahachai. Will bring products to sell. It will bring products received from Ranong Province, Ratchaburi Province, and the Three Pagodas Checkpoint. Come join in selling at this market. Agricultural crops on the Myanmar side cannot be brought across the border to sell. Because the Singkhon checkpoint is still closed. Instead, there will be agricultural products that Myanmar people grow on the Thai side to sell instead.
