Bo Rai District
Bo Rai (, ) is a township and district (''amphoe'') in Trat province, eastern Thailand, near the Khao Banthat Mountain Range in Cambodia. History The area was known for gemstone mining (rubies and sapphires) and gem trade which made Bo Rai prosper and grow. From the 1960s until the beginning of the 1990s the town experienced an economic boom, which ended almost overnight with the exhaustion of the mines through plundering. The economic depression that followed was further increased by the downfall of the Khmer Rouge and the subsequent end of the border trafficking of goods and gems.

There have been attempts at economic conversion, such as the cultivation of rubber trees. There are rumours of a new Thai-Cambodian border crossing being opened at Ban Mamuang. The area is battling drug resistant malaria that has crept over fro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
