Poipet's new US$6.5 million International Passenger Terminal opened for business and could bolster the Cambodia's tourist industry.
The 3,000-square-metre building - containing five restaurants, a money exchange and an office and built beside National Road 5, about 8 kilometres from the Poipet border checkpoint with Thailand in Banteay Meanchey province, was officially opened on Monday.
Travellers will be charged $1 to enter the terminal, from where they can arrange visas and catch taxis and buses.
It has been built with government approval to relieve pressure from the bustling nearby checkpoint, which sees around 5,000 people cross per day.
