Oun Kham (1811 or 1816 - December 15; 1895) was King of Luang Prabang from 1872 to 1887 and a second time between 1889 and 1895. On 7 June; 1887 the Lao royal capital was seized and sacked; the elderly ruler barely escaped with his life. Between his two ruling periods he was exiled to Bangkok in Thailand where he gave assistance to Auguste Pavie ( the first French vice-consul in Luang Prabang in 1885). The last two years of his reign ended with the establishment of a French protectorate over Laos.
