Nong Samet Refugee Camp ((タイ語:ค่ายผู้อพยพหนองเสม็ด), also known as 007, Rithisen or Rithysen), located in Nong Samet Village, Khok Sung District, Sa Kaeo Province, Thailand, was one of the largest refugee camps on the Thai-Cambodian border and served as a power base for the Khmer People's National Liberation Front (KPNLF) until its destruction by the Vietnamese military in late 1984. ==Establishment of the camp==
Refugees began entering Thailand in large numbers after Vietnam invaded Kampuchea in December, 1978 and forced the Khmer Rouge out of power.〔Mason, Linda and Brown, Roger, ''Rice, Rivalry and Politics: Managing Cambodian Relief''. Notre Dame: University of Notre Dame Press, 1983, pp. 12-15.〕 A refugee settlement was established near the Thai village of Ban Nong Samet sometime in May 1979, and received its first shipment of food aid on October 11.〔Mason and Brown, p. 66.〕 The camp was originally referred to as ''Chumrum Thmei'' (New Camp) to distinguish it from its neighbor and rival Mak Mun Camp, which was also known as ''Chumrum Chas'' (Old Camp). Nong Samet was later renamed 007 "because of its many intrigues"〔Stone, S. C. S. and McGowan J. E., ''Wrapped in the Wind's Shawl: Refugees of Southeast Asia and the Western World'', Presidio Press, San Rafael, California 1980, p. 21.〕 and in August 1980 was christened Rithysen, after a Khmer folk hero "who survived when his brothers and sisters were devoured through the machinations of a cannibal ogress, and who then tricked the ogress’ daughter."〔Carney, Timothy M. ''Kampuchea, Balance of Survival''. Bangkok: Distributed in Asia by DD Books, 1981, p. 56.〕
