Koh Hong is an island in Thailand known for its interesting coral formations and beautiful beaches.Koh Hong, which means "Space Island" in Thai, is located in the Than Bok Khorani National Park area.One of its characteristic features is a ring-shaped lagoon surrounded by high coral cliffs. The lagoon can be accessed through a narrow gap between the coral at low tide.The water is calm and clear, making it ideal for snorkeling. This island also has beautiful white sand beaches along its coastline.

This wonderful group of tiny islands offers breathtaking scenery, soft white-sand beaches, coral reefs and a beautiful lagoon. It is true that not always everything is pink, but the balance continues to give positive, with challenges and desire to continue swimming in waters of Hong Island. In Krabi, be sure to take an excursion to the Hong Islands, an archipelago made up of 12 small islands. The landscapes are made of a movie, with fine white sand beaches and coral reefs. In addition, Koh Hong Island, the largest island, features a gorgeous inland lagoon, accessed by a 10m wide channel! Location: Koh Hong (Hong Island), Thanbok Khoranee National Park, Krabi Province, Thailand. #bangkoktrip

Long-tail boat picnic was one of the best experiences I had for my Krabi trip. There are many agents providing long-tail boat from Ap Nang or Tubkaak beach to Koh Hong. But not sure if there are that many that provided picnic set. We used our hotel service since it was convenient for us to go from our hotel beach. The price was quite high for long-tail boat ride to Ko Hong, but I think it was worth going. The picnic was beautiful and eatable. The boat driver was very patient and kind enough to take tons of photos for us. Definitely Fun and luxurious!!

Thai off-the-beaten-path island tour, long-tail boat adventure and sightseeing, complete guide to Hong Island. Thailand is located in the tropics, where it's summer all year round. Island hopping is the most popular activity among tourists in Thailand. Introducing a beautiful vacation destination in southern Thailand, Krabi, where Hong Island is one of the most popular islands in the area. I stayed at Amari VOGUE KRABI hotel on Koh Lanta, all of its rooms face the sea and because they face west, they directly face the sea. It's a breathtaking experience to soak in the pool and watch the sunset. Hotels can sign up for long-tail boat adventures and sightseeing on the sea. We signed up for the Hong Island tour service provided by Krabi Expert. The following is a guide to visit Hong Island: 1. The best time to visit Hong Island is in the morning. If you want to avoid the crowds, it's best to leave at 8am so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hong Island before other tourists arrive. 2. We will have breakfast at the hotel at 7 o'clock, and then at 8 o'clock, we will board the long-tail boat at the shallow beach in front of the hotel and set off to the sea. 3. Joining this private customized tour will be much more convenient, as they will provide dedicated boats and guides, and the cost is also reasonable. 4. During the visit to Hong Island, be sure to pay attention to protecting the environment, do not litter, and do not damage the natural landscape. 5. There are many beautiful attractions on Hong Island, such as the first checkpoint, which is the Emerald Lake. Before arriving at Hong Island, there is a fee of 300 Thai baht per person to board the island, which is a national nature park where you can hike, snorkel, and enjoy the white sand beaches. 6. There are many beautiful beaches and islands around Hong Island, for example, the tour guide took us to one of the islands during lunchtime, where we enjoyed our lunch on the beach. After the end of the Hong Island tour, we can continue to other places. 7. Our final snorkeling spot, there are so many fish in that sea area, everyone can jump into the sea with their life jackets on and play freely. 8. Finally, don't forget to bring essential sun protection items such as sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, etc. You don't need to bring your own drinking water and food because they are all included in the Krabi Expert itinerary, including Thai drinks, drinking water, and even coconuts. For lunch, they prepared pastries and a large basket of tropical fruits for me, including bananas, grapes, oranges, apples, and watermelon. There were also grilled chicken wings, sausages, and local fruit juice, all of which were quite exquisite. Taking photos will be very stylish. About filming When entering Xiehu Lake, it's best to take photos. Sit at the bow of the boat, with rocky cliffs on both sides, and capture a vacation atmosphere. Then, Hong Island in Koh Phi Phi, with its emerald green waters, delicate sandy beaches, and spectacular natural scenery, is unforgettable. The tour guide also explained the history and attractions of Hong Island to us, and she also helped with photography. We took a long-tail boat to Hong Island, and the whole journey takes about 30 minutes. On the way, we can see many beautiful bays and islands, and while snorkeling, we can see all kinds of wonderful creatures living in the sea. On Hong Island, you will see other tourists taking walks on the beach and playing and frolicking by the sea. Because the water here is very clear, basically as soon as you step onto the pier, you can see various fish and corals at the bottom of the water. At noon, we took a long-tail boat back to our hotel on Koh Phi Phi. The whole journey was very enjoyable and fulfilling. I learned a lot about the local culture and way of life, and also gained many wonderful memories.

This tour brings you to 4 different islands that are adjacent to each other. Every single one of them is scenic, picturesque, mesmerising and beautiful. It’s a must do tour when you are in Krabi. I’m simply delighted and in awe having been able to witness the beauty of the islands.

Getting There - Krabi international airport / by boat from Phuket or Patays Attractions - 1 day Boat trip for 1000 bath / person Hotels - BlueSotel very highly recommend Food & Restaurants - all over Ao Nang Beach. best recommendation was the seafood market and buffet.

Magnificent superb 360' full view of Hong Island at the top of the platform. Going up takes around 10 minutes or more, depending on each individual stamina on welly maintained and solid stairs; do take note that some parts are quite steep. There are also rest spots in between with views to take some photos or stop for a rest before continuing up to the top. It's worth all the effort and every single drop of your sweat for the view on top; great exercising as well👍👍👍👍👍 Highly recommended and suggested for everyone to continue all the way up to the top and not give up halfway. Thanks to me later after you see the view with your own eyes 😏

We join 1 day trip at local travel agency at Ao Nang Beach Krabi. Fee around 1100 bath per pax included return transport from Hotel 1 meal ,3 island visit and kayaking from Hong beach to Hong lagoon at Hong island #hongisland #krabi

#bucketlistreboot When I saw from my friend’s post about this place, I added this to my bucketlist. Then, achieved❤️ It's a very long a steep climb up the 400+ steps, but it is well worth it for the view from the top. Flip flops or sandals are sufficient, but bare feet will struggle on the expanded steel stairs. There are 4 resting spots. If you can get past the first point, the next point came to mind. I suggest that you prepare shoes and water. Water is the most important thing going up and ofcourse the sunblock. Especially when you’ll be on the top there is nothing even trees. Even if there’s no sun, you’ll be still feel so hot. So, don’t ever forget to put sunblock. Location: 3MHM+Q2X, Nong Thale, Mueang Krabi District, Krabi #view #island #mountainview #seaview

#passionpassport While we were on our way to Hong Island, our driver made a stop at the back of it, where you can discover a beautiful blue lagoon. The small entrance is a bit hidden. However there is no white sand beach, but rather a clear blue lagoon, which is also perfect for a swim. But we didn’t swim in this area. We’ve just took photos and watch the surroundings. #gooutside #beachlife #island #lagoon

Tinatiramisu is on island exploration in Thailand! 📷 Island-hopping is one of the best thing to do if you ever get to travel to Thailand down south to where the islands are located! If you are a fan of nice beaches and seawater, you have got plenty to explore: Phuket - Krabi - Hong Island - PhiPhi Islands - Maya Bay and so much more! 🌊 The secret tip for traveling in Hong Island is the hike up hill to reach the best 360degree view point for the whole islands! Might be a bit of a climb but the view is definitely gorgeous! 😍 📷 IG: tinatiramisu #เช็คอินทะเล #beachlife #naturalwonders #beaches #เกาะห้อง #hongisland #tripth #createwithtrip #thailand

Address - Nong Thale, Thailand Highlights - Kayaking session to enjoy the scenery - picturesque spot among cliffs Rating - 5/5 This is suitable for people who are staying near Krabi or Phuket that you can book a full-day, half-day or even just Hong Island Kayaking tour. We booked tour to have island hopping and the Hong Island is the last stop for us. I would say if you sign up for tour, usually they will have people who are doing the kayaking so that you don’t have to worry if you are a beginner or you miss out the scenery. Our guide was friendly as she was going through with us on the various scenic spots and told us to take pictures. I would recommend it more for a family of 2/4 as you will be sitting separately as the kayak can only sit up to 3 people (guides + 2). Note: Swipe ➡️➡️➡️ for heart shape! 🤍 #scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#bestislandtraveltowns#culturalattractions#nationalpark

Koh Hong, Krabi - Thailand: This is a famous destination for tourist because of its crystal clear water with amazing view. We have to take a half day or a day tour there and drop by some other islands nearby. “Hong” in Thai means “a room” so there is only one entrance to get in and get out of this place.

Hongdao is located north of Krabi, also known as Hongdao. Hong Thai means room. The name comes from the fact that there is a gap from the north side of the island. It is found by boat and there is a hole in the sky. There is a inner bay surrounded by wooded limestone mountains, just like a natural one. In the room, the mangroves are scattered around the water, and the sea water is smooth. Whether you are on a yacht, long tail boat or canoe, it is difficult to be relaxed without being infected by a quiet atmosphere. In addition to Inner Bay, there is a shoal bay on the west side of the Red Island. The beach is soft and white, and it is extremely comfortable to walk or lie down, and the sea is clear, whether it is water, snorkeling or canoeing. It makes people feel more relaxed. The island is rich in ecological resources, and there are relatively few tourists, so you can slowly observe and slow down.

#KrabiTravel #TharbogKhoraniNationalPark #KohHong360DegreeViewpoint The Thai sea🌊 is as beautiful as anywhere else in the world. And if it's in Krabi, I'd give it my all because its beauty is what attracts the eyes of tourists with big budgets. But come on, it's definitely worth every baht. 🤩🤩 Koh Hong is part of the Hong Islands, TharbogKhorani National Park. We recommend buying a One Day Trip, which is very convenient. There are many packages to choose from, such as being picked up at your accommodation, which is super convenient. You can dress up like a model or go adventurous and climb the mountains⛰️ and go to the sea🌊, you're ready!!! Travel by ferry from Noppharat Thara Beach. It doesn't take long to get to the 360-degree viewpoint of Koh Hong. You only have to walk up 419 steps!!! You still have energy left to play in the water!!! From the viewpoint, you can see the turquoise sea🏞 amidst the lush green forest🌳, white sandy beaches, gentle waves, and dozens of small islands in the middle of the Andaman Sea.

For the Koh Hong trip, there are 3 islands in the Koh Hong area: Hong Lagoon, Pak Bia, Koh Lao Lading, including snorkeling, traveling by long-tail boat or speedboat. Hong Lagoon: is a tall cliff with a lake and emerald green seawater, one of the highlights of Krabi Province. Pak Bia: swimming and relaxing on the white sandy beach and is a place suitable for relaxation with beautiful scenery. Koh Lao Lading is a beautiful island, a place suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and coral viewing. Koh Hong is a wonderful place with a white, soft, and fine sandy beach, suitable for walking, relaxing, swimming, and snorkeling. #Krabi #Koh Hong #Sea #Trip

Krabi is all about exploring various small islands, either going out to sea or staying by the sea🌊 You can join a one-day group tour or travel independently, either way, you'll depart from Ao Nang Pier. To save trouble, my friend and I picked up several brochures from the hotel front desk, studied the different times and routes, and directly booked the next day's itinerary at the front desk. So the next day, a car came directly to our hotel to pick us up and take us to the pier 🚢 ❗I suggest you check the itinerary time. There are tours that go to four, five, six, seven islands in one day, starting early in the morning. I don't recommend this at all, it's not comfortable. I chose to depart at noon, so I could sleep in at the hotel, have breakfast, and then set off leisurely. Going to Hong Island and a nearby small island whose name I don't know was completely enough, the arrangement was already rich enough! (The price is 1700🐖+300 🐖island fee/person) We left the pier by long-tail boat at around 12:30, and arrived at our destination about forty to fifty minutes later. We passed some caves and cliffs along the way, and if the tide wasn't high, we could stop and take a look. We arrived at Hong Island almost at two o'clock, and then it was free time! I climbed the mountain and then went into the sea, not caring about getting sunburned. With the beautiful scenery in front of me, I just let loose and had fun! At less than four-thirty, we gathered to go to another small island for a barbecue or something (basically the group dinner arranged by the tour group), and then we watched the sunset and returned by boat... 🥩 Before departure, I thought there was nothing on the island, but they actually had roasted corn, milk tea, coffee, snacks, fruits, and other things to fill your stomach, so you can go light and don't need to bring food. I suggest you can carry a big bag, which can hold a towel, a couple of plastic bags, some sunscreen, etc., and be sure to wear slippers or sandals (I wore sneakers, which I had to either leave on the boat or carry by hand, full of sand and very inconvenient, barefoot is really unbearable) 🏄‍Hong Island is really beautiful, with good ecology, worth a visit, mainly because half a day's time is not rushed, enough to climb the mountain to overlook the panorama + swim in the sea to chase the waves, and finally take a lot of photos with your friends 📷📷📷 ps: Oh yes, be careful of the wild animals that appear on the island from time to time... I encountered monkeys🐒and large🦎, especially when eating, 🐒will come to try to snatch food, please pay attention to safety, food is a small matter, don't get scratched or bitten and get injured!

This island is famous for its clean beaches, clear sea water,and limestone karst that create spectacular views.Visitors often visit Hong Island for activities such as snorkeling, diving, and exploring sea caves.One of the main attractions is Lagoon Hong, a beautiful deep lagoon with turquoise water, flanked by karst cliffs.

#wheretogo Island hopping is one of the activities to do in Krabi. So off I joined a tour to Hong Island. It was such an stunning experience ! The islands are very scenic and beautiful with blue clear water. It’s so crystal clear that I could see the fish swimming even without going into the water. I also had the chance to do snorkelling at a few snorkelling points. It was so fun to get close to the fish and have a close look at underwater. #timetotravel #krabi #hongisland

Hong Island is located in Krabi province. It was almost one hour boat ride from Ao Nang or Tubkaak beach. There are many tour agencies proving one day trip tour from Krabi to Hong Island. We decided to use private boat. Yes, it was more expensive than the join tours. But private time gave us better experience. Hong Island was gorgeous; crystal clear water and beautiful white sand are great combinations. It was lovely to snorkel, still lovely just to sit and have picnic there. The view point is quite a walk though. You don’t have to be that fit, but it was quite a climb if you didn’t exercise that often. The view from the top was absolutely stunning.

beautiful

The free activity at the Ritz-Carlton hotel, just a 15-minute boat ride away. It would be great if the boat could be improved; local wooden boats go back and forth.

During our island hopping, my husband and I decided to stay longer to Hong Island. It was a little paradise where we did snorkeling and saw colorful fishes. This island was also less touristy compare to the other island we went to. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
