What's the status of this border crossing between Thailand and Cambodia?
Google Maps has suggested this crossing from Thailand to Cambodia located at 14.4339183,104.8108152 but I'm having trouble finding information about it.
- Which name(s) does it generally go by?
- Is it an international border, meaning it's open to non-locals?
- Are Cambodian visas-on-arrival available here?
The closest place names on the Thai side are Nong Yai and Ang Kep Nam Huai Khanun, but searching with those has not yielded anything useful. I'm still looking for place names on the Cambodian side.

According to the section Interesting facts about this location / Cambodian–Thai border dispute of this article,
the Cambodian–Thai border dispute began in June 2008 as the latest round of a century-long dispute between Cambodia and Thailand involving the area surrounding the 11th-century Preah Vihear Temple, located in the Dângrêk Mountains between the Choam Khsant district in the Preah Vihear province of northern Cambodia and the Kantharalak district in the Sisaket province of Northeastern Thailand.
Preah Vihear Temple here cited is less than 20 miles from Phupha Mok or Phu Pha Mok (14.4339183,104.8108152).
On the Cambodian side, the closest points of interest may be this bunker from civil war, then Bosbov Waterfall. The Eco-Global Museum and the archeological sites called Aur Krauch and Thmom Peang are some 20 miles on the south.
