Sala Ratchakarun Thai Red Cross Centre in Khao Lan is an area that in 1979 was a red cross camp to hold 90,000 Cambodian refugees who fled from the murderous regime under Pol Pot. The refugees were allowed protection under the patronage of Queen Sirikit for 7 years on this 18 08 hectare site. Today the site contains the Ratchakarun pavilion which is a museum erected to keep alive the memory of the plight of these refugees and to honour the Queen’s birthday.
