Hopi Village Cambodia Tours
Koh Tang nowadays is principally forgotten as the last battleground of the Vietnam War. Placed in the Gulf of Thailand it’s thirty five miles from the port of Sihanoukville Cambodia. There are not any memorials here, once I heard the distinctive sound of a AK47 ripping through a clip poking holes in the sky fired in anger over a poker gamer, sometimes today you can still hear explosions, however they are connected more to poverty than to war, because desperate men risk their lives in an exceedingly continuing battle to make cash from a slowly decaying fishing ground that is systematically being depleted by the Vietnamese and Thailand fishing fleets, illegally fishing in Cambodian water for squid and shrimp generally. Thankfully the dynamite blasts are right down to a escape because the Cambodians are discouraging this at the higher levels and it is starting to be extremely enforced.
Underwater there aren’t any visible artifacts or proof that the battle ground was here. The USA MIA groups are then again wanting for a helicopter lost and never recovered throughout the Mayaguez incident, however many here speculate that it was found a while ago, and like the opposite submerged wrecks during this part of South East Asia was salvaged for the metals that they are composed of. The enduring helicopter of the Vietnam War nicknamed “Heuys” I have been told are principally aluminum, magnesium and titanium that would bring a magnificent reward to the salvager.
Koh Tang nowadays is one among the most effective scuba diving areas in cambodia tours with many Sihanoukville dive companies running overnight journeys out to the current massive uninhabited island group. Large fish go for cobias and sail fish also large schools of jacks, snappers and fusiliers swim over the reef in giant numbers since broken reef section are repaired by mother nature, with contemporary coral colonies of “apcora” (a generally known variety being stag horn coral) growing at a speedy pace, and therefore the fish stocks displaced begin to recover. The diving is good, no crowds and many giant shallow sections, likewise as the deep reefs escaped injury, thus there is varied dive opportunities interspersed with the damaged coral beds. The foremost well-known dive website in Cambodia would be Virgin Reef which has never been fully dived because of its giant size, is blessed with healthy fish stocks and a few amazing coral gardens stretching for lots of meters out from the island.
