It's kind of funny this border crossing... only 1 year ago the immigration office was a wooden shack, and the border was a one-lane cement bridge with a toll bar with a copule of local kids manning the counterweight to let the occasional ox cart and rickety truck by.
Of course, most of the business this border does is visa runners. The casino on the Cambodian side is almost always empty, although it seemed built with expectations of crowds in the thousands.
Today, of course, it is a different place. Instead of one wooden shack, there is now one completed large office on the "out" side, and another being built on the "in" side of the Thai border, and a big archway in the center spanning a two-lane bridge.
Things certainly do change quickly here in Thailand.
