K5 Plan

Mountains along the Cambodia–Thailand border north of the road between Sisophon and Aranyaprathet. One of the areas where Khmer Rouge insurgents hid at the time of the PRK/SOC.

The K5 Plan (Khmer: ផែនការក៥), K5 Belt or K5 Project, also known as the Bamboo Curtain,[1] was an attempt between 1985 and 1989 by the government of the People's Republic of Kampuchea to seal Khmer Rouge guerrilla infiltration routes into Cambodia by means of trenches, wire fences, and minefields along virtually the entire Cambodia–Thailand border.[2]
