Our area, although not fenced in, is clearly occupied and private land. Even where the campers put their tents, there is a hut, and my wife and I have grown several plants and landscaped the area. Land disputes and land thievery are far too common in Cambodia, so the rich often feel it's not illegal to tread upon poor people's land, but if I waltzed into their luxury villa in the capital, the police would be called immediately. Even our nextdoor neighbor stole some land from her neighbor on the other side, building her bathroom and beer sign on his side of the property while he was out of town.
