About this site

Htms Chang Wreck is a ship wreck off Koh Chang, a vessel 100 metres long that sits facing north at 30 metres. It entered service as the USS Lincoln County 898 in 1944 as a tank landing craft, served in the Pacific in the Second World War and in the Korean War, and joined the Royal Thai Navy in 1962 under its present name. The ship was sunk on purpose in 2012 to create an artificial reef.

The ship is fully intact and the fish life is outstanding. Green sea turtles and hawksbill turtles are seen resting on the decks, and a hawksbill has been photographed at the anchor winch. Divers have also reported batfish, chevron barracuda, groupers and snappers around the wreck.

Wires and lights hang from the ceilings inside, furniture can block doors and hatches, and some doors are locked.
