Go to Adventure Divers Pattaya Thailand for lots of pictures, specifications and architectural drawings of the wreck.

Looks good, and just what Koh Chang needs. Any idea yet where they are proposing to sink it?

HTMS Chang is nothing like the wreck Koh Tao got last year. It is many times her size and complexity. You could dive HTMS Chang 100 times and still get lost. Beware all aspiring wreck divers, this wreck needs to be treated with respect. Proper reel work and spare lights are absolutely essential, and do not push your luck. If you are cautious and sensible you will absolutely love it!

About twice the length and twice the width compared to the HTMS Satakut.

Anyone have an idea when the wreck is going down. Previous date of the 16th has come and gone!

Latest update I have heard is now to be sunk approx 26/27 September and hope to be diveable by mid October (hope so as we are there on 12th November). The site is Hin Luk Bat which is approx 3km south west of Koh Chang and will be in approx 20M of water. The whole dive area is from 11 to 25M deep. Regards Chris........

Sounds good, Hin Luk Bat is a decent dive site.

Right now they are talking about 3-4 Miles South-West of Koh Chang, a little bit further out than Hin Luk Bat and Hin Rap.
And I'm pretty sure that the wreck will be sunk at least 3 Miles from the coast, otherwise the fishermen are not allowed to fish there.
And right now they are pretty much in control of the wreck's location...

Just a little update:
They held a ceremony on the 26, but the ship hasn't been sunk yet.
The Ship was supposed to go to Bang Bao yesterday, but as of right now I don't know if the did it.
The new date will probably be in mid November, which means we can hopefully dive it, in December.
