What is it about shipwrecks that divers simply cannot get enough of? Some divers relish the artificial reef they are about to explore, sometimes more stunning than natural ones. Others enjoy the eerie atmosphere a sunken vessel creates, where the decaying craft holds nothing but sea life where people and goods used to reside. Luckily for divers making their way to Thailand, there are several shipwrecks found on the coast worth exploring, including the HTMS Chang, off the island of Koh Chang. This shipwreck is one of the newest in Thailand, and it was sunk on November 22, 2012. It is located a mere four miles off the coast of the island. At its deepest, the bottom of the vessel is some 30 metres deep, and the boat itself is 100 metres long, making it the largest shipwreck in the country.
