It's a shame, the real reason the border isn't international is because the roads on the Cambodian side are shameful. Within 100 meters of the border gate on the Cambodian side the road is broken pavement on one side and gravel on the other, definitely not ready for waves of fully loaded tourist buses. The reason the government tells the people is that it's because Thailand is trying to steal Cambodian land.

And now that I've illegally crossed over to the other side once before on foot with Cambodian soldiers, I've seen the Thai side has 4-lane paved highways coming to a dead-end, mowed grass, high voltage power lines, basically just waiting for Cambodia to be ready on the other side. Like you already said though, I knew at the very least the journey would be Hive content 😆.
