Tanks and trains sunk in the Gulf of Thailand

No, it was not an accident, the 25 tanks, 273 old train cars and 198 garbage trucks were deliberately thrown into the sea in the Gulf of Thailand. With a ecological purpose.

This major operation that we can see in the video below was organized in order to create artificial reefs for fish and develop a new ecosystem. The Thai authorities hope to increase the number of fish in the gulf which was decreasing and help Thai fishermen.

This is not the first operation of its kind in Thailand. Over a year ago, an old US warship was sunken off Koh Chang. With a slight difference in the purpose. This time it was all about creating an exceptional dive site for tourists.

I do not know the exact location but no doubt for me that in a few months this tanks and other equipment sunk in recent days will appear on diving agency tours program…
