Thailand blocks trucks carrying goods from Myanmar

Although Myanmar allows trucks from Thailand to enter through the Mawtaung border gate, Thai authorities have begun preventing trucks from Myanmar from enter Thailand, sources say.

There are restrictions at the Sinkhun border gate, as it is a temporary border crossing.

“We are depending on the Sinkhun border gate as we are selling our products in a market in Thailand. Our trucks cannot go beyond the Thai immigration checkpoint. This increases our expenses as we have to unload the goods from the trucks. I want to request that the Thai authorities allow the trucks from Myanmar to enter the market directly,” said a vendor from Mawtaung. (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
