Poipet

City in Banteay Meanchey, Cambodia

Poipet (Khmer: ប៉ោយប៉ែត [paojpaet]) is a city in Poipet Municipality, Banteay Meanchey province, Cambodia near the border with Thailand, serving as a key crossing point between the two countries. Poipet is adjacent to the town of Aranyaprathet on the Thai side of the border. The city came into existence only quite recently for the express purpose of border trade; Sisophon had always been the primary urban center in what had been an agricultural area.
