Tips for Visiting Koh Tang
- Snorkel close to shore and avoid deep-water currents-Koh Tang's reefs are beautiful but can be exposed to tidal drift.
- Bring cash and basic camping gear-facilities are minimal and intermittent.
- If interested in history, talk to local long-time fishermen about the island's role during the Khmer Rouge and in later decades.
