Koh Hong Island (Krabi) (from Phuket)

The Koh Hong archipelago consists of about a dozen islands, with only the largest island boasting several beautiful beaches. These include Pelay Beach, a beautiful white coral sand beach lapped by waters teeming with tropical marine life.

In the center of the island lies a large lagoon protected by a ring of eroded limestone caves. Since only a narrow inlet allows access to the lagoon by boat, you'll have to wait for high tide before heading inside and enjoying the spectacular scenery.

There is also a short nature trail that you can walk during your stay.

Krabi Islands

Krabi's popularity still lags far behind Phuket's popularity - and that's why it's growing in popularity, as it still has that original, more natural and local vibe and a wealth of idyllic islands to rival those around Phuket.

A cruise off the coast of Krabi through the sparkling, azure Andaman Sea reveals stunning, secluded islands perfect for snorkeling, diving, canoeing, exploring, or just lounging. Some are little more than sandbanks or Rocks, others are home to a variety of tropical flora and fauna, as well as beautiful lagoons teeming with marine life.
