Hongs of Phang Nga, Thailand Canoe first island and explore 1-2 caves and hongs
A "hong" – the Thai word for “room” – is actually a collapsed cave systems in the interior of each island in Phang Nga Bay, only accessed by tough, purpose-designed inflatable canoes through sea caves at low tide. Open to the sky and filled with jungle flora and fauna, the hongs conceal a unique eco-system with monkeys, birds, fish and complete quiet, except for the twittering of birds. Local operators have so far gained access to dozens of hongs between Phang Nga and Krabi to the south, which you can visit and enjoy on a Phuket kayaking trip. Each hong tends to have its own distinct character, and it's easy to spend days, even a week, visiting island after island. 120 minutes

Koh Panak Cave, Thailand - Make your own Krathong & have dinner on the boat

Loy Krathong Day is one of the most popular festivals of Thailand celebrated annually on the Full-Moon Day of the Twelfth Lunar Month. It takes place at a time when the weather is fine as the rainy season is over and there is a high water level all over the country.
The word “Loy” means “to float”, and “Krathong” means lotus-shaped vessel made of banana leaves. Loy Krathong is, therefore the floating of an illuminated leaf bowl. But nowadays some krathongs are made of coloured paper. A krathong usually contains a candle, three joss sticks, some flowers and coins. 180 minutes

Finalement nous n avons pas pu faire cette excursion car il n’y avait plus de place (alors que nous avions payé et reçu l e-mail de confirmation). L agence nous a contacter par WhatsApp pour trouver une autre excursion du même genre et nous a proposé une autre excursion en grand bateau, au top! Paysages magnifiques equipe à bord au top. Je recommande

This is the most beautiful excursion that I have ever been on. The staff is extremely professional, and organized. The cook made us some amazing food, and we got to make Krathong's with our canoe guide. We were lucky to have Saman as our canoe guide, he was very kind and allowed us to relax during our canoeing and helped us make the most beautiful Krathong. We will never forget this trip. Thank you Saman!

We had the best time ! Phang Nga Bay is absolutely gorgeous. We also saw plenty of animals.
All the team is very nice and focused on the passengers well being, all is well organized. The food was delicious.
We have plenty of time on the canoe, no rush at all, the guides (one per canoe) take the time for us to plenty enjoy the visit, they explain lots of things, take photos... Our guide was Mussa and we loved our time with him. He was so nice and really did everything for us to have the most special experience. We also laughed a lot with him !
We definitely recommand this tour, totally worth it ! Thanks again to all the team !
