The beach of Ko Hong can be seen below, including various islands in the waters of Krabi and Phang-nga provinces. The other side of Ko Hong has some interesting sites, e.g., Ko Hong Lagoon (Thale Nai), which looks like a wide hall in the middle of the sea surrounded by high cliffs like a volcanic crater. Inside the lagoon, there is emerald green water. It is possible to moor boats and go swimming, Boats can enter and exit only one channel when the sea level rises.
