Episode Details

Koh Chang is home to one of Thailand's most spectacular dive sites - the HTMS Chang, the largest intentionally sunk shipwreck in the country. It's also one of the few places where divers occasionally have the unforgettable experience of swimming alongside a whale shark.

In this episode of Thailand Adventure Secrets, I sit down with Kristel from BB Divers to hear the stories behind Koh Chang's incredible underwater world. We talk about what it's like to descend onto a 100-meter naval ship resting upright on the seabed, how the wreck has transformed into a thriving artificial reef, and what really happens when a whale shark suddenly appears during a dive.

Whether you're a certified diver, thinking about earning your Open Water certification, or simply fascinated by marine life and adventure travel, this conversation offers a unique look beneath the surface of one of Thailand's most underrated destinations.

If you'd like help planning your own Thailand adventure—whether it's a diving holiday, island-hopping itinerary, or one of my hosted expeditions—I'd love to help.
