Thailand :: Pattaya : HTMS Khram Wreck

The HTMS Khram, formerly the USS LSM 469, is a decommissioned warship sunk by the Thai navy in 2003 to create an artificial breeding ground for marine life. She lies in 30 metres of water a few hundred metres off the eastern coast of Koh Phai (the most northerly of Pattaya's outer islands). The Thai navy did a good preparation job on the ship freeing her from armaments, oil and other diver hazards. Large penetration holes flooded with natural light have been cut out of the structure, the bridge, radio room and engine room are all accessible.
