There were many such villages a lot of them connected by long trenches to each other and to the Ho Chi Min trail bringing in soldiers, food, and equipment from the north and surrounding countries. The people were forced to move everything underground as their homes were destroyed above by the American bombs. In huge lengths of tunnels there would be many sleeping areas, a larger meeting area, and other areas specified for different purposes. Many children were born in these conditions.

Ang Thong National Marine Park is a large collecton of islands and surrounding see all under protection. Near the south end of the east coast of Thailand it's a great place to see nature, at the top of the climbs all you can see in every direction is clean blue sea dotted with nearly untouched islands.
