Khamphoui (Lao: ພຣະອັຄຣະມະເຫສີເຈົ້າຍິງຄຳຜຸຍ/ພຣະນາງຄຳຜຸຍ; 12 July 1912 – 1982?) was the Queen of Laos by marriage to Sisavang Vatthana, the second (and last) King of Laos. She was arrested with the rest of her family and reportedly died in a re-education camp in 1982.
She became Queen Consort of Laos in late October 1959. As queen, she and her husband attended public events and ceremonies. In 1963, she accompanied the king on an official state visit to the United States, where they were hosted by US President, John Kennedy.[1]
Her husband was forced to abdicate the throne on 2 December 1975. After the coup, the former royal couple lived in house arrest in the former royal palace.[2] She was arrested in 1977 along with the former King and her family, and sent to a Communist 're-education camp'.[3] After their arrest, the former Royal Palace was made in to a museum, and the former king and queen were stated to have been taken away to "work in the fields".[4]
She reportedly died in 1982[5][citation needed][dead link] in a Communist 're-education camp' in northern Laos along with her husband and their son Crown Prince Vong Savang, probably around Sop Hao.[6]
