    Destination

    Koh Chang, home to the Koh Rang Marine Park, attracts thousands of professional scuba divers looking to upgrade their skills every year. Here, the dive spots are gifted with incredible coral reefs, diverse marine population and a sandy seafloor. The ambient and tropical water temperature, coupled with relatively clear visibility, has turned Koh Chang into a hotspot for scuba diving. The rocks, canyons and corals of Koh Chang are home to turtles, snappers, moray eels, barracudas and several other fishes. A major attraction for advanced divers is the wreck of the HTMS Chang, a massive ship that once was a part of the Royal Thai Navy.
