The
decommissioned war ship HTMS
Lanta,
which
sailed under the hull code
714, is today a
museum in
Krabi.
The bow of this specialized Tank Landing Ship,
has a large door that could open and deploy a
ramp in order to unload vehicles. It was named
HTMS
Lanta by
King
Rama IX after
Koh Lanta, an
island in
Krabi,
making it a symbol of local pride.
