Singkhorn Border Checkpoint Singkhon Pass was developed as a Special Temporary Border Checkpoint and plays a significant role in trade, investment, and cultural exchange between Thailand and Myanmar. The border market attracts tourists and traders, offering local Thai products as well as Burmese items and regional souvenirs.

Economic Role: Singkhon Pass is part of the route connecting Thailand's Western Economic Corridor, with the potential to be upgraded to a Permanent Border Crossing in the future. Trade here focuses on agricultural products, handicrafts, processed wood furniture, and gemstones.

Marine Resource Management: At this checkpoint, the Fisheries Management Center (Zone 6) oversees fisheries activities and enforces regulations for waterborne trade. This reflects the checkpoint's role in promoting both economic development and marine resource conservation.

Development Potential: Local and governmental authorities have planned multiple development projects aimed at enhancing cross-border trade and tourism, such as building infrastructure and warehouses. Singkhon is thus viewed as a vital link between the two countries, particularly in connecting historical and eco-tourism routes.

Cultural Dimension: The exchange of goods and the meeting of locals from both sides of the border foster strong People-to-People Connectivity and allow tourists to experience the culture and tribal way of life in the border area.
