Ban Vinai refugee camp (1975–92)
On the Refugee crises map as “Ban Vinai”
1975–92 — At its peak, Ban Vinai camp in Thailand’s Loei province is home to some 40,000 Hmong. Many hope to return to Laos and refuse resettlement in the West for years. Behind the fence, they keep their villages’ clan structures and crafts alive.
