About HTMS Kut
HTMS Kut (originally USS LSM-333) is the sister ship of HTMS Khram, sunk three years later in 2006 near Koh Larn. The wreck sits upright at 30m with similar dimensions and structure. Being slightly newer as a dive site, the coral growth is catching up to its older sister, and it attracts similarly impressive schools of batfish and barracuda.
