For those born in 1979 or after, this video will tell you how your parents and fellow Khmers went through trying to escape the Vietnamese invasion and the Khmer Rouge by fleeing into Thailand. As you can see in this video, people were dying like animals in the jungles or their way to Thailand.

LOL! It forgot to mention the Thais soldiers raped Cambodian young girls and shot dead their husbands for their enjoyment, while the western powers helped the remnant of the khmer rouge so that they could continue to terrorize the people of Cambodia for another decade. Good thing Vietnam was there to help defend and stabilize Cambodia, thus we have the beautiful Cambodia of today. Remember that next time when you visit Cambodia as tourists.
My family of 4 escaped to 007 camp,Khao I dang,Kamput from Battambang on June 19 1980 and arrived in US on Jan 23 1981.In 1979 my family and 45000 Khmer refugees were sent to DANG REK MT to death.
