Tea Banh (Khmer: ទៀ បាញ់, Khmer pronunciation: [tiə ɓaɲ]) (born November 5, 1945, Koh Kong Province)[2] is the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for National Defence for Cambodia.[3] He is a former general and a member of the Cambodian People's Party and was elected to represent Siem Reap Province in the National Assembly of Cambodia in the 2003 elections.[4]

Banh, whose birth name was "Tea Sangvan" later changed to Thai name "Sangvan Hin-kling" (Thai: สังวาลย์ หินกลิ้ง) and "Tea Banh" in last,[5] is of Sino-Thai descent. His father, a Thai-Chinese, was named Tea Toek (Thai: เต็ก; rtgs: Tek) and his mother Nou Peng Chenda (Thai: หนู เพ่งจินดา; rtgs: Nu Phengchinda), was an ethnic Thai.[6][7] Banh married Tao Toeun (Thai: เตือนใจ ธรรมเกษร; rtgs: Tueanchai Thamma-keson), who is also an ethnic Thai in 1975. They have three children Tea Siam, Tea Tyhas, and Tea Kanha.
