“Sadao border checkpoint Thailand and Malaysia”

Sadao Boundary Post, also known as Dan Nok, is a significant landmark located at the border between Thailand and Malaysia. This border post holds great historical and cultural significance for both nations, and it serves as a symbol of their shared history and peaceful coexistence.

The Sadao Boundary Post is situated in the Sadao District of Songkhla Province in Thailand, while its Malaysian counterpart, the Bukit Kayu Hitam Boundary Post, is located in the state of Kedah. These two border posts mark the formal border crossing between the two countries.

The area surrounding the Sadao Boundary Post is bustling with activity, as it serves as a major gateway for trade and tourism between Thailand and Malaysia. The crossing is known for its busy immigration checkpoints, where travelers from both countries are required to present their passports and go through customs procedures.

The historical significance of the Sadao Boundary Post dates back to the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909, which defined the border between Thailand (formerly known as Siam) and the British protectorate of Malaya. The treaty, signed between the Kingdom of Siam and the British Empire, established the Sadao-Dan Nok border line as the official demarcation between the two territories.
