Full Day Sawasdee Hong Islands from Khao Lak

The Andaman Sea is described as one of the finest for lazy days at the beach in southern Thailand. Khao Lak has long been favoured as a laid-back alternative for nearby Phuket with ample means to soak up the Thai sun and explore the wonders further inland and off its dreamy cost. Heralded by those seeking an excellent respite address with a Thai smile, Khao Lak’s beaches is pure heaven for sun, sand and sea lovers. However, this will be clearly overshadowed once you pack your beach bag and head over on a catamaran to Hong Island. Like little pearls, the islands and limestone rock formations of one of southern Thailand’s most adored destinations even surpass the beauty of the serene shores of Krabi. Let us guide you to a world of hidden natural treasures with beaches that have set the standards for postcard perfection.

A very early morning pick-up by air-conditioned vehicle marks the beginning of a long, yet rewarding outing into the blue wide open space of Andaman Sea. The drive from our Khao Lak resort, joining other sun-seeking afinados moves through the more local regions of the province before reaching the jetty where your vessel for the day is anchored – a well-maintained catamaran with captain and a dedicated crew to make your day an unforgettable one. Before reaching our first stop of the day, the team on board will guide you through the safety procedures and what is to be expected before making landfall again at the end of the day. Laem Had is one of these treasures: as our first stop for the day, it is one of these spots that demand a stop for swimming and relaxation. By kayak, guests can visit a local fishing village and see how these hospitable locals have called the island their home for generations.

With lunch en route before reaching our next stop, we follow in the seafaring footsteps of preceding naval explorers of the Andaman Sea before reaching Koh Hong. Surrounded by high cliffs and verdant green vegetation, the island actually feels like a private lagoon, separated from the main waters of the Andaman Sea. Bathing and exploring this unique spot on the planet will be marked as one of the highlights of this trip. Finally, we enter the interconnected islands of Pak Bia. During low tide, a sand bank forms a natural bridge between both islands leaving a jaw-dropping experience. Closing the day after swimming and sunbathing at Pak Bia marks the day’s ending. Sailing back by catamaran to your disembarkation point and onward back to your Khao Lak resort (conditions apply) will leave you in awe of what you’ve just seen and experienced well into the future.
