**Thai-Lao Border Trade Market (Ban Bo Bia or Chao Maha Rach Market) and Huay Tang Relaxation Market** The Thai-Lao Border Trade Market, also known as Ban Bo Bia or Chao Maha Rach Market, is located in Moo 1, Bo Bia Subdistrict. If you pass through the border, you will find three villages: Ban Mai, Ban Klang, and Ban Sawang, which were once the catalyst for the Thai-Lao War in 1984. To this day, it remains unresolved which country these villages belong to. From Chao Maha Rach, you can reach the city of Thung Meisay in Laos, where traders gather every Sunday for an exchange of goods between Thailand and Laos. For more information, you can contact the Bo Bia Administrative Organization at 0 5543 6766. The Huay Tang Relaxation Market, bordering Moo 7 of Ban Nong Phai and Ban Khon Kaen in Bo Tan, Khaentao, Laos, is an open market that allows residents of both countries to buy and sell consumer goods and other products, thereby stimulating the local economy in the border area.
