Ko Hong (Hong Island)
Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon during the dry season, November to April, when seas are calm and light is best for photos.
Budget tips
No special island entrance fee is required, but expect to pay for a longtail or shared boat tour. Book a group half-day from Ao Nang to lower per-person cost and bring cash for boat fares and rentals.

About
Hitre informacije: Sharp limestone cliffs encircle a hidden lagoon reached through a narrow tidal gap, creating a sun-drenched emerald pool that feels like a private oasis. Glassy waters are packed with colorful reef fish and shallow coral gardens, and early-morning snorkelers often spot schools of parrotfish before day-trippers arrive.
Vrhunci: At low tide the sea pulls back to reveal a circular white-sand lagoon roughly 150 meters across, ringed by sheer limestone walls about 25 meters high that turn a molten-orange in late afternoon light. Kayakers and longtail crews squeeze through a narrow 4-meter gap in silence, then paddle into the bowl where the only sounds are soft sand that squeaks underfoot and the distant cry of brahminy kites.
Insider tips
- Wear reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes for rocky entries and shallow reefs.
- Arrive on the first or last boat to avoid crowded midday tours and get calmer water for snorkeling.
- Carry a waterproof bag for phone and camera, and charge a power bank for longer beach time.
- Climb the short viewpoint trail for framed shots of the lagoon at golden hour, wear sturdy sandals for the ascent.
