HTMS Khram
Sister ship of the Kut, this ex-US landing ship was the first wreck the Thai Navy prepared for divers, scuttled off Koh Phai on 30 January 2003. She sits upright on sand at about 28–30 m, with the decks at 21–24 m and the structure starting near 12–15 m; the bridge and radio room are largely intact. Being older, she carries more life than the Kut: blackfin barracuda circle at 22–25 m, and divers meet blue-spotted rays, resting bamboo sharks, big groupers, batfish, sweetlips and passing hawksbill turtles.
