The seaside town of Ha Tien on the Gulf of Thailand and the River Chau in the province of Kien Giang was until recently a sleepy town that did not receive many foreign visitors. There was a change in opening the border with Cambodia and the ferry connection with the island of Phu Quoc. It is the place where the Mekong Delta meets the ocean and a very relaxed town for travelers to stay for a day before continuing their trip.
Until 1708, the area was a Cambodian province led by a governor, Chinese immigrant Mac Cuu. After repeated attacks by the Thai, the governor turned to protection for the Vietnamese and became a vazal of the princes of the Nguyen dynasty. By the end of the 18th century, the region came under the direct governance of the Nguyen.
During the terror of the Red Khmer, Cambodian troops targeted a massacre in the province. Thousands were killed and the entire population of Ha Tien escaped the city. The attacks were one of the reasons for Vietnam to enter Cambodia in 1979 and to expel the Khmer regime.
