Thep Sathip and Bamnet Narong districts, ~250 km northeast of Bangkok. Although the area was founded over two centuries ago during the early Rattanakosin period by Lao people from the north, the majority of the people in the project site identify as Thai. The project area and are in which it is located is reportedly not known to be settled by, claimed by or owned by any distinct or vulnerable ethnic/Indigenous Peoples group.

On 2 July 2019, the ADB team met with local people living in the Hanuman Wind Project area who had been affected by the project and had received payments for previous land use incomes and proximity to the turbines.

The local people interviewed indicated that they had no complaints or grievances with the project and were happy with the compensation received.
