The villagers in the communities surrounding the mine in Khao Luang have suffered a myriad of consequences from the mining operation, but very few benefits. They suffer health consequences and their water is poisoned. Very few villagers are employed by the mine and they have not received any financial compensation for the negative effects they have suffered. Therefore, since 11 October 2013, the villagers have been blocking the road the mining operator uses to deliver minerals.
