About Hong Island

Hong Island, known locally as Koh Hong, is a stunning getaway in the Andaman Sea, part of the Than Bok Khorani National Park, Krabi, Thailand. This idyllic island offers a tranquil escape known for its breathtaking scenery, with lush tropical forests contrasting against fine white sandy beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Hong Island is often referred to as a perfect snapshot of paradise, boasting a rich ecosystem with coral reefs teeming with marine life, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling and kayaking. A prominent feature of Hong Island is its beautiful lagoon. Accessible by boat through a dramatic cliff passage, the lagoon is a peaceful sanctuary with calm, emerald waters surrounded by rock walls. The island remains relatively unspoiled despite its popularity and is less crowded compared to other tourist hotspots in Thailand. Visitors can indulge in sunbathing, explore the natural trails, or simply enjoy the serenity this hidden gem offers.

This is a better place to visit than Phi Phi
The Hong Islands were BETTER than Phi Phi Islands by a lot! There was trash all over each snorkeling stop for the Phi Phi tour, and a ridiculous amount of people. We talked to one of the long boat drivers, who called "his buddy" with another long boat and they had us drive over to Klong Muang Beach to meet this boat. He took us to Hong Island - with snorkel gear - and dropped us off. The place had hardly any visitors! We were shocked and amazed! The "trick" is to get there close to lunch time when the tours are getting ready to head back from the morning. They don't go out there in the afternoons. We spent almost 6 carefree hours here enjoying ourselves, swimming and walking through the park. There is a small snack shack, but definitely pack a bag of food to go with you. There's a ton of picnic tables and trash cans as well. When we were ready to go, we just walked out to the pier and our Long Boat driver saw us and came up to get us. Definitely a better way to visit than going through a tour company. Make sure to tip your driver heavily since he's literally sitting out in his boat doing nothing but waiting for you to return.
