Koh Hong, teh Private Hall in the Middle of Andaman Sea |
Location: In the west of Krabi province.
Koh Hong is quite a popular island for both Thai and foreign travelers. It is the location of Than Bok Khorani National Park Ranger Unit. There are two sandy beaches in the front and the back. The former is the main port, so it is not very suitable for a swim; whereas the latter is a nice diving spot around 10 to 30 feet deep.
In the north is a very curved bay surrounded by limestone mountains so that it looks like a hall. This is the reason why this island is called Koh Hong, or a hall island. Inside is a sandy beach and mangrove forests where you can enjoy kayaking, or walking during the low tide.
Koh Hong has two major beaches in the front and the back of the island. The former is the main port, so it is not very good for swimming; whereas the latter is a nice for sunbathing, diving and canoeing.
The front beach in south of island is a place where visitors often come to lie down on the beach and canoe all along to the hall in the north.The amazing sandy beach surrounded by towering hills of Koh Hong is indeed one of the highlights of Krabi attractions. When the tide is high, the boat could send you right on the beach on Koh Hong; but if the tide gets low, be prepared to row a canoe to this fascinating hall. |
