Vạn Khánh is a commune (Vietnamese: xã) and village in Vạn Ninh District, Khánh Hòa Province, in Southeast Vietnam.[1] It is best known for being the homeplace of the Buddhist monk Thích Quảng Đức, who burned himself to death in 1963 to protest the anti-Buddhist discrimination of then-President of South Vietnam, Ngo Dinh Diem.
