Camp Vietnam

Batam is a small and active island that has became one of the most wanted destinations for tourism. One of the favorite places to visit in Batam is Camp Vietnam. Camp Vietnam is located in Galang Island. When you visit Camp Vietnam you will be welcomed by lots of monkeys. But don’t worry, they will not disturb you. Galang Island is a small island at Kepulauan Riau Province and the camp is located at Sijantung Village, and lies close to Batam. Recently, the camp has became a tourist destination site. By visiting Galang Island, you will be brought to remember the tragedy in the past when thousand Vietnamese left their country to find protection. There, you will see so many ruins, like a church and a pagoda, which are treated well and can be used by visitors. There is no hotel in Galang Island but you can find them in Batam Center. Some hotels in Batam Center are The Centro Hotel & Residence, Ace Hotel Batam, Batam Centre Hotel, and many more. 

Unfortunately, there aren't any food vendors or restaurants near the camp if you are hungry. You can enjoy the local cuisine in Nagoya, Batam Center, and Barelang. You can purchase a souvenir, such as pins and t-shirts, on the island.

When you come to Camp Vietnam you will see that the situation is so quiet and there is no activity around the island. You can add Camp Vietnam to the list of your destination if you are someone who likes the quiet and enjoyable places to holiday.

Museums and graveyards all use the Vietnam language. When you walk around the camp, you will find traditional wooden boats that were used by the refugees. They struggled and challenged the high waves to reach the land before they arrived to Galang Island.

There are also some houses, jails, security posts, monuments, statues, and farming areas that stretch widely. If you want to know about the refugees, you can come to the museum to see photos and other memorabilia.

By visiting Camp Vietnam, you will get to understand the life of the Vietnamese refugees who escaped from their country. It will be an unforgettable experience.
