There's an interesting autobiography of his available in local book shops. He was a powerful commander in Koh Kong the Revolutionary Army of Kampuchea, but they tried to purge him and he escaped with many of his forces to Thailand (He is an ethnic Thai) early on, maybe 1973-4. He worked there, maybe as a fisherman, and later on ,maybe 1977, went by boat to Vietnam to liaise with the people there, eventually becoming a leader in the National Salvation Front.
