In May 2014 the Thai military initiated a coup and ousted the civilian government. In June that year, the new government issued a statement warning all undocumented migrants that they should leave the country or face arrest and deportation. In response to this, over a two week period in June 2014, it is estimated that close to 220,000 undocumented Cambodian migrants fled the country.
