Thailand
Phetchabun province – August 2007
MSF has been assisting some 7,800 Hmong refugees living in the village of Huay Nam Khao in Thailand’s Phetchabun province since July 2005. These refugees fled Laos starting in 2005 with some seeking safety from attacks on their mountain villages and others from religious or political persecution while yet others are looking for better economic opportunities in Thailand or a third country. In December 2009, more than 4, 000 ethnic Hmong have been forcibly repatriated from Thailand to Laos.
