Dive-site story
The HTMS Chang, formerly USS Lincoln County (LST-898), was scuttled off Koh Chang to create an artificial reef. Resting upright on the sand, the landing ship tank features intact exterior structures including the bridge tower, cranes, and gun mounts. Divers with wreck-penetration certifications can navigate the interior cargo decks and corridors.
