Chouk Chey

Chouk Chey is a Cambodian village located on the border with Thailand. It has recently become newsworthy due to actions taken by Thai forces who have effectively blockaded the village, preventing Cambodian residents from returning to their homes. This blockade involves the installation of shipping containers and barbed wire on what Thailand claims is its border, effectively cutting off Chouk Chey. Villagers have reported their displacement and loss of livelihoods as a result of the Thai military's actions. The situation highlights ongoing border disputes and tensions between Cambodia and Thailand, raising concerns about the displacement of Cambodian citizens and the potential for further conflict. The blockade's existence as of late December 2025 underscores the continued relevance of this issue.
