Koh Tang (កោះតាង) (also known as Tang Island) is an island off the coast of Preah Sihanouk Province in the Gulf of Thailand. The island is approximately 52 km (32 mi) off the southwest coast of Cambodia. There are no civilian inhabitants on the island, only Cambodian military personnel.
The Khmer word Koh(កោះ), means 'island', Tang can be loosely translated to "legend".
The island is rock fringed with its highest point at its northern extremity. Two shallow coves press into the eastern and western neck of its northern plateau. The eastern cove has a long shallow coral sand beach. The small islet Koh Mul/Tuich lies about 1.3 km (1 mi) to the East and Koh Domloung (potato) island about 2.2 km (1 mi) to the South. The islets Koh Tee Mui (8.4 km (5 mi) off) and Koh Tee Bpi (9.6 km (6 mi) off) complete the Koh Tang archipelago.
In May 1975, Khmer Rouge troops landed on nearby Thổ Chu Island and kidnapped 513 Vietnamese civilians (almost the entire population of Thổ Chu) to Koh Tang, where they were forced to do hard labor until they were all executed.
Those who lived, went back running
Her light steps approached the door
ChouTfs house stands before her
Long has she waited for this
Harried steeds
Their owners stumbled
To report that her malevolence
Too strong to conquer
Guan De Gun was summoned
Slayer of Demons, feared in all Hells
TgSubmit to my sword now and
TgI shall grant you a quick deathTh
Chiong Kui Ya was called upon
Upholder of Order, Ghost Destroyer
TgRun all you want, like all othersTh
TgExecution is inevitableTh
Care not whether I live or die
But thy judgement shall not be unjustified
Why have you all turned a blind?
ChouTfs obliquity absurdly connived.
Thy escape, infraction of the Laws of Hell
Your slaying of entire troop just increases the anger of us
Damned Demon Natao shall be unmercifully punished.
You all shall rue the moment you stepped forth
How Noble your Godship no matter.
For his soul gnaws at mine, my hunger
You shall not stop me for nonsensical reason.
Blades flashing, quicker than the eye
She parried with her own, slicing
Spells hurled, seeking to envelop
She absorbed, and responded tenfold
Both Heaven and Hell under-mined her
Legions died in their attempts to conquer
fallen bodies Natao gladly stepped over
To despoil ChouTfs life at sight and grab his soul to hell
Grab your soul to hell
Hateful, Grab your soul to hell
Hateful, Grab your soul to hell
