@kunchayyyyy: 🇹🇭🇰🇭 THROWBACK: Cambodian Refugee Camps in Thailand According to the Khmer Rouge Eras in Cambodia, Cambodian people have fled to the Thai side and refugee camps have opened since 1979. It was built as a center for “illegal Cambodian entrants” to Thailand pending their resettlement in third countries or return to Cambodia. Khao I Dang camp, one of the major Cambodian Refugee Camps in Thailand, opened in 1979, after the fall of the Khmer Rouge, and became one of the most enduring refugee camps on the Thai-Cambodia border. At its peak, the huge compound of bamboo and thatched houses sheltered nearly 140,000 refugees. It closed in 1993. “Khao I Dang offers a poignant reminder of Thai hospitality and responsibility-sharing by the international community at the height of the Indochinese refugee crisis,” said James Lynch, UNHCR’s Regional Representative for South-East Asia. This camp and a few major camps are operated by the Supreme Command of the Royal Thai Armed Forces and the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees). Much of the work is contracted out to “Volags,” voluntary relief organizations. CR. Asian SEA Story AS_ADMIN
