A group of villagers protested took place in Cambodia earlier this week, regarding a land dispute that has been unresolved for several years, reports Phnom Pehn Post
The protest saw almost 250 villages in the Kampong Speu province stand outside the Provincial Hall to demand the return of thousands lost due to economic land concessions.
The villagers demanded a solution to the dispute between a Chinese company and a prominent tycoon and ruling party senator.
Thai real estate attorneys Chaninat and Leeds can ensure that buying property or land in Thailand runs smoothly.
The latter for one cleared 800 hectares for a sugar plantation, meaning the community lost a large portion of their farm land.

Land conflicts have caused significant problems in Cambodia in the past, with hundreds of thousands of people affected.
