Poipet (Khmer: ប៉ោយប៉ែត[paojpaet]) is a city on the Cambodian-Thai border, in Poipet Municipality, Banteay Meanchey Province. It is a key crossing point between the two countries, and also extremely popular as a gambling destination as gambling is popular, but mostly illegal in Thailand.
Poipet is adjacent to the town of Aranyaprathet on the Thai side of the border. The town came into existence only quite recently for the express purpose of border trade; Sisophon had always been the primary urban center in what had been an agricultural area. Poipet's population has increased from 43,366 in the 1998 census to 89,549 in the 2008 census, making it the fourth most populous settlement in Cambodia just ahead of Sihanoukville and larger than its provincial capital Sisophon.[2] During the Pol Pot Era , Poipet was the first place in Cambodia for International Relief Organisations, to support the nearby Thai Border Camps. UN staff were able to freely cross the Border. In the years since 2008, Poipet has continued to boom both as a large Town but as a key gateway from and to Thailand.
