Bangkok Plot

The Bangkok Plot, also known as the Dap Chhuon Plot, was a late 1950s international conspiracy to topple Prince Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia. It was allegedly initiated by the right-wing politicians Sam Sary and Son Ngoc Thanh, the regional Cambodian warlord and governor Dap Chhuon, and the governments of Thailand and South Vietnam with possible involvement of US intelligence services.[1] The Bangkok Plot and its politics still influence Cambodian politics.[2]
