Chrey Thum Border Crossing: A Gateway to Vietnam

Chrey Thum (Kandal Province) is an increasingly important international border crossing between Cambodia and Vietnam. It connects Cambodia’s Kandal province to Long Binh in Vietnam’s An Giang province via a modern bridge over the Bassac River.

🌍 Geography

The Chrey Thum border is situated in the Koh Thum District of Kandal Province, roughly 70km south of Phnom Penh. The landscape is dominated by the Bassac River, featuring lush riverbanks and traditional stilt-house communities. It serves as a vital economic link for agricultural trade between the two countries.

🌀️ Climate

The area shares the typical tropical monsoon climate of the Mekong Delta region:

  • Dry Season (Nov – April): The best time for travel, with lower humidity and clearer skies.
  • Wet Season (May – Oct): Expect lush, green landscapes but be prepared for heavy, brief afternoon rain showers that can occasionally cause rising river levels.

πŸ—ΊοΈ How to Get There

  • From Phnom Penh: The most common way is by private taxi or minivan via National Road 2 or 21. The journey typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours.
  • From Vietnam: Travelers cross from the Long Binh border gate in An Giang province. Once across the bridge, you are officially in Chrey Thum.

🚲 Getting Around

  • Tuk-Tuk & Moto-Taxi: Local “motos” and remorks are readily available at the border gate to take you to nearby guesthouses or the local market.
  • Walking: The immediate border area and the bridge connecting the two countries are manageable on foot for those completing immigration formalities.

πŸ›οΈ What to Do

While primarily a transit point, Chrey Thum offers a unique “border town” atmosphere:

  • The Grand Dragon Resorts: The area is well-known for its casinos and resorts, which attract many visitors from across the border.
  • Local Markets: Explore the bustling riverfront markets where you can find a mix of Cambodian and Vietnamese goods, fresh river fish, and local street food.
  • River Views: Take a moment on the Chrey Thum Bridge to enjoy the panoramic views of the Bassac River, especially at sunrise or sunset.
  • Village Life: A short ride away from the main border road allows you to see authentic riverside farming and traditional Khmer village life along the riverbanks.
