Three Pagodas Pass

This pass approximately 22 kilometers from Sangkhla Buri.

This rugged Thai-Burmese border was once a strategic military route for both the Thai and Burmese; however, it is currently a small border market.

The three miniature pagodas are memorials to the traditional invasion route favoured by Burmese soldiers during the Ayutthaya period (1350-1767).

Visitors wishing to visit Myanmar are advised to obtain a pass, which allows visitors to visit Burmese settlements from Sangkhla Buri Immigration Office. A Fee of US$10 is applied. The border opens between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., depending on the political situation.
