Makes perfect sense, thank you. I would have had no problem with an explanation of any length (and the forum might be interested in you making a post on this topic at some point) but I respect your time and patience.
Yup - I also did a quick double check with the stats, its more like hundreds of thousands (400k) per day.
Apparently it is literally the busiest or one of the busiest land borders on Earth.
I have a lot of ideas on this topic regarding Southeast Asian history in general - but I always seemingly want to cover a certain book before I start it, and never get round to actually drafting/creating a post.
I come from a family of academics, and there's a word of advice that I remember hearing said to others since I was a kid "If you want to write a thesis, you will always feel that you have not done enough research. Eventually, you need to actually write despite that feeling." Perhaps you could include the books you haven't read as a little "further reading" section.
