Following clashes in 2023, Thai forces have taken control of disputed land along the Thai-Cambodian border, leading to displacement and loss of property for Cambodians. Thai forces have erected barricades and prohibit Cambodians from entering the area now claimed by Thailand. Cambodian residents, like Kim Ren from Chouk Chey, report that their homes, located on what is now the Thai side, were bulldozed after a ceasefire agreement in December. The situation leaves displaced Cambodians without homes and livelihoods. Thai soldiers are guarding the area, as seen during a military-organized media tour in Ban Nong Chan.
