This pass links the town of Sangkhlaburi in the north of Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand to the town of Payathonsu in Burma but Three Pagodas Pass is available to foreigners only from the Thai side. As its name indicates, there are three small pagodas located here to be the sign of the end area of the country and for centuries, this Three Pagodas Pass was on the main land route between India and South East Asia. Three Pagodas Pass is just small wrapped in red, saffron and white cloth and actually looks quite average and encircled by a market mostly selling cigarettes and souvenirs. Three Pagodas Pass locally is called "Darn Chedi Sam Ong" and the pass derives its named from those three small stupas or chedis that may have been built as a symbol of peace, at the end of Ayutthaya period.
