Nol was born in Prey Veng Province on November 13, 1913, to a family of mixed Chinese–Khmer descent.[2] His father Lon Hin, was the son of a Khmer Krom from Tay Ninh Province[3] who later served as a district chief in Siem Reap and Kampong Thom, after making a name for himself 'pacifying' bandit groups in Prey Veng.[4] His maternal grandfather was a Chinese immigrant from Fujian province[5] who later became the governor of Prey Veng.[3] Nol was educated in the relatively privileged surroundings of the Lycée Chasseloup-Laubat in Saigon, followed by the Cambodian Royal Military Academy.
