Koh Tang, Military island in Gulf of Thailand, Cambodia.
Koh Tang is the largest island in a group off the Cambodian coast in Kampot Province. The island stretches across several kilometers and is largely covered in dense forest, with multiple sandy beaches along its shorelines.
Koh Tang was the site of a significant military operation in 1975 during an international incident that marked an important moment in regional history. This event left its mark on the island and the surrounding area.
The Cambodian military maintains an active base on this uninhabited island, controlling access and maintaining surveillance of the surrounding waters.
Reaching the island is possible by dive boat or speedboat, with regular services departing from the Cambodian mainland. Travel time varies significantly depending on which boat you choose.
The eastern side has a long sandy beach bordered by rock formations, while several small neighboring islands form an archipelago. This coastal landscape gives the place a striking appearance for visitors.
