HTMS Chang: the shipwreck you will never forget! Located near Koh Chang Island it was an LST-542-class tank landing ship built for the United States Navy during World War II. It was a useful vessel back then and also participated in Korean War in Incheon. In 1962 it was turned over to the Thai government for service in the Royal Thai Navy as Chang (LST-2).


At the wreck site there is rich marine life, coral reefs and many schools of fish around there. As a wreck site, there are possible points of penetration.


If you go dive with good luck you´ll find a Whale shark because there are many lucky divers whose have found them around the area. Check this video out!!
