A total of 193 displaced Thais were given citizenship and identification cards to become full Thai nationals. Trat provincial governor Benjawan Anprueng on January 9 presided over a ceremony to grant them Thai nationality in Muang district.
Muang district chief Apirat Apisammawong said a total of 467 displaced Thais have been registered in the district. Of them, 193 were granted Thai nationality.
Displaced Thais in Trat are Thais who had lived in Cambodia’s Koh Kong province, which was formerly part of Siamese territory before France seized control of the area.
