KAMPUCHEA KROM AT A GLANCE

Kampuchea Krom is composed of 68,965 square kilometers, 21 provinces and municipalities, two large islands - Koh Tral and Koh Tralach, 171 districts, 1,368 communes, 14,778 villages, more than 13 million Khmers, more than 567 Buddhist pagodas and more than 20,000 Theravada Buddhist monks.

99% of populations are Theravada Buddhists.

The Khmer kings, governments, regimes and citizens have never relinquish (give up) this part of their country to foreigners.

Kampuchea Krom has been under an ongoing colonial control since her division from motherland, Cambodia.

June 4, 1949 is the date that the Khmer Kampuchea Krom citizens grieve. The Khmer Kampuchea Krom people have organized Buddhist Service annually to honor the fallen Khmer Buddhist monks and heroes, who sacrificed their lives for Kampuchea Krom and Theravada Buddhism.

Colonial France divided, ceded and transferred Kampuchea Krom to colonial Vietnam on this date. The freedom of Khmer Kampuchea Krom has been mostly stripped by the Vietnamese ruling regimes and governments since. The French colonial administration committed injustice upon the more than 13 million Khmers of this beautiful fertile land.

Justice remains elusive for Cambodia, Kampuchea Krom and her citizens.

And...The struggle to regain freedom and human rights by the Khmers in Kampuchea Krom continues as long as injustice commits by the ruling Vietnamese regime(s) has not produced a fruitful result.

Koh Tral (Tral Island)
in Vietnamese - Phu Quoc island
circa 1939 Vietnamese encroached and conquered

Koh Tral Island has an area of 567 square kilometers; about 62 kilometers long and between 3 kilometers and 28 kilometers wide. The island physically is located closest to Cambodia's Kep seaside city. Visitors can see Koh Tral Island from the coastline of Kep. It is about a 30-minute motorized boat ride.

it's not a surprise to learn that khmer ruled much of southeast asia in ancient time. there were so many ancient khmer sites all over this part of southeast asia, really!

why lao seemed to want to hide it as if we don't know it's khmer ancient site!

the problem with these southeast asian countries is that they don't give proper credit to our ancient khmer influence, etc, you know! instead, countries like siem and youn always want to destroy evidence and discredit khmer history as if it did not exist or something; that's the real issue with these historical enemies of khmer, you know! again, there were just too many ancient khmer sites for them to ignore it, really!

Khmer people always obey the law or have always been respected the rule of laws ever since, trying to do the right things and being afraid of the higher-up leaders or what so ever.

Khmer population is not small. It combines with Khmer Krom (Southern Vietnam), Khmer Surin (Northern Thailand) and Khmer Kandal (Cambodia today).

If Khmer people don't care about Buddha or did not show respects, Khmer could be very aggressive like Thai and Vietnam or China, and would have more power and become a very developed nation in the world. The enemies like SIAM (Thailand) and Die Viet (Vietnam) are betrayal and hypocrite races when Khmer people have been so soft and so kind to the neighbors (like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos/Hmong, China, etc) until the neighbors (Thailand and Vietnam) took for grants and stole things and destroyed Khmer people. What on earth the Vietnam and Thailand are doing to Khmer (Cambodia) until today?

It is sad that the Thailand and Vietnam have been using Khmer people as unthinking and forgotten people as their strategies to destroy the real Khmer history to regain their rewritten and false histories. They plan to brainwash their young generations to act very weird and rude until today as you know. Many young people of Thailand and Vietnam have learned their false histories on earth and then their histories will not have the values to learn.

Thailand and Vietnam compare themselves to be like the U.S., British Empire, etc. That is stupid.
