Khao-I-Dang

Vietnamese refugees did not live at Khao-I-Dang camp, however, many Vietnamese were transported to Khao-I-Dang whenever they need medical attention that the clinic at the Vietnamese platform could not provide, such as surgeries, tooth extraction, or need to be observed.

Many of us may recognize Khao-I-Dang from these pictures.
