Conditions at the camps were generally good. The camps were clean, inmates received necessary medical care and sufficient food, and the general atmosphere between prisoners and guards was amicable. These good conditions allowed the government to project the civilised image it desired.
 During the following months the government, however, became increasingly uneasy about the existence of two internment camps in the capital. It also began to receive a constant stream of complaints from the prisoners. 

The British minister exerted strong pressure on the government to accept London’s offer to ship the prisoners to an internment camp in India, as it doubted Siam’s ability to keep the Germans locked up effectively and to prevent them from sabotaging British interests.
 In the end, much to the dismay of the Germans, the King agreed. The Germans and Austrians were deported to India in February 1918, where they were interned at the prisoner-of war camps in Ahmednagar and Belgaum until their repatriation to Germany in 1920.

Twelve German vessels docked in Siamese ports were immediately seized. The crews and other Central Power nationals were detained and sent to India to join their fellow citizens in internment camps
