The hong, or "rooms", of Phang Nga
Bay and Krabi are collapsed cave systems open to the sky, filled with jungle
flora and fauna, and often accessible only in tough, purpose-designed
inflatable canoes through sea-caves at low tide. Local operators have so far gained access to dozens of hongs between Phang Nga and Krabi to the south. The various hongs each tend to have their own distinct character, and it's easy to spend days, even a week, visiting island after island. Limited numbers of people are taken out at a given time; and guides accompany every boat, not just to lead the way and to provide commentary, but also to advise on ways to conserve these precious natural resources. |
