Hong by Starlight

Experience an unforgettable journey into the heart of Phang Nga Bay as we explore mysterious caves and hidden lagoons, known as hongs, by kayak. Begin your adventure with a light Thai-style lunch on board before paddling through the serene waters to discover the beauty of these natural wonders. As the day turns to dusk, enjoy a delicious buffet dinner while watching the stunning sunset over the bay.
