The Three Pagodas Pass or Thai: ด่านเจดีย์สามองค์, RTGS: Dan Chedi Sam Ong, Thai is a pass in the Tenasserim Hills on the border between Thailand and Burma (Myanmar), at an altitude of 282 metres (925 ft) above sea level. The pass links the town of Sangkhla Buri in the north of Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand, to the town of Payathonsu in the south of Kayin State, Myanmar. The Three Pagodas Pass is popular with tourists, who are allowed to obtain a one-day visa from the Thai side to visit Payathonsu. Attractions on the Burmese side include wooden furniture, jade carvings, and textiles. Thai tourists are allowed in as of 2011, while other tourists are not due to the status as a temporary border checkpoint which only allow a day trip between two neighbor countries. With the rambling strutting roosters of the Buddhist temple of Wat Suwankhiri on a Payathonsu cliff near by, during April, Three Pagodas Pass becomes a site of the Songkran Festival with cockfights, Thai-Burmese kickboxing and various folk dancing.
