Behind the Thai containers and barbed wire is the Cambodian village of Chok Chey, a disputed area now blocked by Thai forces, leaving residents unable to access their homes and some reporting warning shots when they tried to approach. Cambodia maintains that borders here are defined by existing treaties and international law, while Thailand does not recognize the area as Cambodian, a dispute that continues to leave civilians caught in the middle and cut off from their village.
