This breathtaking island is one of Thailand's most beautiful and remains a relatively undiscovered treasure. You'll be fortunate to have this insider's experience, as only a few visitors venture here.
The island derives its name from the eroded caves that are located at its center. These caves conceal a lake with limited access to the sea, and can only be accessed once a day during a specific one-hour time slot. A canoe is the only way to enter the Hong Island during this time. At low tide, the entrance is blocked by sharp-edged stones and mud, while at high tide, the access is completely submerged. This natural wonder adds to the island's allure and makes it all the more captivating.
