BanThad's Home PageBanthad is my childhood refugee camp sanctioned by the UNHCR during the years of the Vietnamese boat people (1980s - 1990s). My childhood life were mostly hopping through many refugee camps. I stayed the longest in Banthad camp. This camp was built near the much bigger Site II refugee camp for the Cambodians who had stayed there years earlier. After some trials of searching the net, maps and documents, using Google Earth I have found the old Banthad camp. Here it is: View Larger Map **See my journal for close-up of the location in relation to Site 2 camp in view I recall the word "Ban Thad" means "Home Mountain" when we were explained by the Thai officials there in the camp. Some pictures from my friend who also lived in this camp: **Ca Doa`n (Banthad Church's Choir) **The Mass **The old friend - yes, the person in blue pants and T-shirt is wearing the very common standard-issue clothing provided by the UNHCR. All people who came through this life of a refugee should remember these well. Anyone who wants a copy of the picture above in higher resolution, please use contact form in my profile and let me know your email. Of course, I want to know a bit more details why you want a copy also. Here are some more pics of the camp life by another friend from the same camp: |
