[1] Bun Chanmol was born in Cambodia in 1921 close to the Royal Palace as the fourth son of the district governor of Ta Khmau.
Therefore, Chanmol fled to live with an uncle in the Pok family and he was married with a bride from the House of Abhaiwongse in Battambang which was part of the strategy of marital alliances of this old Thai dynasty to keep control over the Northwest of Cambodia.
At that time, Bun Chanmol reconnected with the descendants of Thiounn, who had also been removed from the inner circle of the Royal Palace by King Sihanouk.
After a meeting with Sihanouk, despite having the King's assurance that they would be safe, Bun Chanmol and other members of the Democratic party were brutalized, stones were thrown at them resulting in bruises and injuries.
As many influential intellectuals in his generation, he was among the first people executed in April 1975 when the Khmers Rouges entered Phnom Penh and imposed the regime of terror and plunder.
He must be the supreme leader who stands over and above everyone else.Bun Chanmol's 1972 autobiography entitled Political Prison has become a classic of the canonical literature of post-war Cambodia.
In fact, he considered that "Yuon [Vietnamese] supported Sihanouk in order to conquer the remaining Cambodian territory and destroy the Khmer race".
