A Kon Tum destination that many tourists want to conquer is the Vietnam - Laos - Cambodia border junction, also known as the Indochina junction.

The Indochina border landmark is located in Bo Y commune, Ngoc Hoi district (Kon Tum), built in 2007 and completed in 2009 on a mountain top 1,086m above sea level. The landmark is a triangular cylinder made of granite, with the national emblem and the names of the three countries Vietnam - Laos - Cambodia on three sides.

At the Forum “Kon Tum Tourism - Potential and Prospects”, Dr. Tran Dinh Thien, former Director of the Vietnam Economic Institute, said: To attract visitors, Kon Tum should focus on building its own distinct products including the Indochina border junction tourist destination, Mang Den tourist area and tourism in Kon Tum city.

Mr. Le Hoang Ngoc Vu, Deputy Head of the Tourism Management Department (Kon Tum Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism) said: The Vietnam - Laos - Cambodia border landmark, also known as the Indochina border junction, attracts many domestic tourists because it is a special check-in location "when a rooster crows, all three countries can hear it". However, there is still a lack of services for tourism development such as toilets and means to get to the landmark. Currently, only cars traveling in caravans or motorbikes can get close to the landmark.

Below is a picture of the Indochina border landmark, which is a check-in point for many domestic tourists:

The location of the border landmark is in the management area of Bo Y international border gate (Ngoc Hoi district, Kon Tum province).

From Bo Y border gate to the border junction landmark is about 10 km of concrete road.

With motorbikes and cars, you will go up to the foot of the Vietnam - Cambodia - Laos border marker.

Kon Tum Provincial People's Committee has approved the Project on tourism exploitation in the area of the common border marker of the three countries Vietnam - Laos - Cambodia. Accordingly, by 2025, Ngoc Hoi district strives to welcome about 58,500-72,000 visitors to the common border marker of the three countries.
