This village is called Deitum Neab, Deitum Neab
is the low land where the water floods every year. This village homes barely
115 families. In the period of Sang Kum Reas Niyum (1954-1969) this village was
called Chrang Khpuos. Presently, this village has 2 home stays available for
tourists to stay at. These home stays are developed using materials provided by
Trapeang Roung CBET. This village had only 18 families in 1983, along with
Vietnamese troops at this time. During the Pol Pot regime the villagers here fled
to Thailand, but the rest were forcibly evacuated to quarry stone in Thar Bang,
70 Kilometers away. Some people were transported by elephant, and were killed
nearby. Previously, this area was covered in jungle, but is now seriously
deforested.
