A day in Krabi, travel notes for Hong Island

Krabi is all about exploring various small islands, either going out to sea or staying by the sea🌊 You can join a one-day group tour or travel independently, either way, you'll depart from Ao Nang Pier. To save trouble, my friend and I picked up several brochures from the hotel front desk, studied the different times and routes, and directly booked the next day's itinerary at the front desk. So the next day, a car came directly to our hotel to pick us up and take us to the pier 🚢 ❗I suggest you check the itinerary time. There are tours that go to four, five, six, seven islands in one day, starting early in the morning. I don't recommend this at all, it's not comfortable. I chose to depart at noon, so I could sleep in at the hotel, have breakfast, and then set off leisurely. Going to Hong Island and a nearby small island whose name I don't know was completely enough, the arrangement was already rich enough! (The price is 1700🐖+300 🐖island fee/person) We left the pier by long-tail boat at around 12:30, and arrived at our destination about forty to fifty minutes later. We passed some caves and cliffs along the way, and if the tide wasn't high, we could stop and take a look. We arrived at Hong Island almost at two o'clock, and then it was free time! I climbed the mountain and then went into the sea, not caring about getting sunburned. With the beautiful scenery in front of me, I just let loose and had fun! At less than four-thirty, we gathered to go to another small island for a barbecue or something (basically the group dinner arranged by the tour group), and then we watched the sunset and returned by boat... 🥩 Before departure, I thought there was nothing on the island, but they actually had roasted corn, milk tea, coffee, snacks, fruits, and other things to fill your stomach, so you can go light and don't need to bring food. I suggest you can carry a big bag, which can hold a towel, a couple of plastic bags, some sunscreen, etc., and be sure to wear slippers or sandals (I wore sneakers, which I had to either leave on the boat or carry by hand, full of sand and very inconvenient, barefoot is really unbearable) 🏄‍Hong Island is really beautiful, with good ecology, worth a visit, mainly because half a day's time is not rushed, enough to climb the mountain to overlook the panorama + swim in the sea to chase the waves, and finally take a lot of photos with your friends 📷📷📷 ps: Oh yes, be careful of the wild animals that appear on the island from time to time... I encountered monkeys🐒and large🦎, especially when eating, 🐒will come to try to snatch food, please pay attention to safety, food is a small matter, don't get scratched or bitten and get injured!

Thai off-the-beaten-path island tour, long-tail boat adventure and sightseeing, complete guide to Hong Island. Thailand is located in the tropics, where it's summer all year round. Island hopping is the most popular activity among tourists in Thailand. Introducing a beautiful vacation destination in southern Thailand, Krabi, where Hong Island is one of the most popular islands in the area. I stayed at Amari VOGUE KRABI hotel on Koh Lanta, all of its rooms face the sea and because they face west, they directly face the sea. It's a breathtaking experience to soak in the pool and watch the sunset. Hotels can sign up for long-tail boat adventures and sightseeing on the sea. We signed up for the Hong Island tour service provided by Krabi Expert. The following is a guide to visit Hong Island: 1. The best time to visit Hong Island is in the morning. If you want to avoid the crowds, it's best to leave at 8am so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hong Island before other tourists arrive. 2. We will have breakfast at the hotel at 7 o'clock, and then at 8 o'clock, we will board the long-tail boat at the shallow beach in front of the hotel and set off to the sea. 3. Joining this private customized tour will be much more convenient, as they will provide dedicated boats and guides, and the cost is also reasonable. 4. During the visit to Hong Island, be sure to pay attention to protecting the environment, do not litter, and do not damage the natural landscape. 5. There are many beautiful attractions on Hong Island, such as the first checkpoint, which is the Emerald Lake. Before arriving at Hong Island, there is a fee of 300 Thai baht per person to board the island, which is a national nature park where you can hike, snorkel, and enjoy the white sand beaches. 6. There are many beautiful beaches and islands around Hong Island, for example, the tour guide took us to one of the islands during lunchtime, where we enjoyed our lunch on the beach. After the end of the Hong Island tour, we can continue to other places. 7. Our final snorkeling spot, there are so many fish in that sea area, everyone can jump into the sea with their life jackets on and play freely. 8. Finally, don't forget to bring essential sun protection items such as sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, etc. You don't need to bring your own drinking water and food because they are all included in the Krabi Expert itinerary, including Thai drinks, drinking water, and even coconuts. For lunch, they prepared pastries and a large basket of tropical fruits for me, including bananas, grapes, oranges, apples, and watermelon. There were also grilled chicken wings, sausages, and local fruit juice, all of which were quite exquisite. Taking photos will be very stylish. About filming When entering Xiehu Lake, it's best to take photos. Sit at the bow of the boat, with rocky cliffs on both sides, and capture a vacation atmosphere. Then, Hong Island in Koh Phi Phi, with its emerald green waters, delicate sandy beaches, and spectacular natural scenery, is unforgettable. The tour guide also explained the history and attractions of Hong Island to us, and she also helped with photography. We took a long-tail boat to Hong Island, and the whole journey takes about 30 minutes. On the way, we can see many beautiful bays and islands, and while snorkeling, we can see all kinds of wonderful creatures living in the sea. On Hong Island, you will see other tourists taking walks on the beach and playing and frolicking by the sea. Because the water here is very clear, basically as soon as you step onto the pier, you can see various fish and corals at the bottom of the water. At noon, we took a long-tail boat back to our hotel on Koh Phi Phi. The whole journey was very enjoyable and fulfilling. I learned a lot about the local culture and way of life, and also gained many wonderful memories.
