Jan 1985–1993 — After Vietnam’s dry-season offensive destroys the border camps, their people are moved to a camp a few kilometres inside Thailand. With almost 200,000 residents at its peak in 1989 it was one of the largest Cambodian settlements anywhere, run by a resistance faction, its people forbidden to leave.
