Koh Tang

Koh Tang (also spelled Tang Island) is an island off the southwest coast of Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand. The available sources indicate the island has no permanent civilian inhabitants and that the Cambodian military maintains a base there with a sizable number of personnel. Historical source material in U.S. archival collections places Koh Tang as the site of helicopter operations for the delivery and recovery of U.S. Marines in the context of the Mayaguez Affair; modern reference works (Wikipedia/Wikidata) frame the island in geographic and administrative terms. The supplied materials do not provide construction or settlement dates, precise coordinates, or detailed pre-modern history. Reported phenomena and folkloric significance are absent from the provided source set. No supernatural entities, apparitions, hauntings, curses, or related claims appear in the cited materials. Interpretations and explanatory frameworks in the sources are military and historical in nature rather than paranormal. Public access is not explicitly described in the sources; given the presence of a Cambodian military base and the lack of permanent civilian population, access is treated as likely restricted but not formally documented in the provided materials. Gaps in the record include precise latitude/longitude, detailed earlier history of the island, and any regional oral traditions — none of which were present in the supplied sources.
