Many tourists in search of the sun, sea and great beaches visit Thailand. Here one of the well kept secrets is the Hong Island also known as the Room Island. It is one of the most pristine and untouched islets in the Krabi region and is surely paradise. Those who have been to this place would vouch for the fact that it is paradise on earth.
It is only a forty five minute speed boat ride away from Krabi and one can spend the whole day here enjoying the great marine life, beaches, islands and the tropical climes. Those who want to spend the whole day in this part of Krabi can pack some food and double up the trip as a picnic by the coast as well. The only other thing one has to take when heading to this place is snorkelling gear and swimming clothes.
Tourists who travel to this region to spend the day can explore the Hong Island as well as the Pelay Beach both of which are calm, quiet and simply amazing. What is more, since many people do not go to the many islets around Krabi that often, the limited number of tourists who visit here can almost always have the whole area to themselves. The seashore is serene and the waters are shallow making it an ideal spot to swim and even snorkel. The turquoise shallow waters are great to spot the colourful fish that swim in thousands and also the beautiful coral reefs. Some fish on the shoreline would even let tourists feed them food. There is also a lagoon which is simply amazing that most people who come here find this to be the best part of their holiday in Thailand.
Definitely a place not to be missed once a beach enthusiast has travelled all the way to Thailand, this is surely a setting where any tourist will have the best of one’s holidays. For anyone staying at one of the many Krabi resorts or a Trang resort such as Anantara Si Kao Thailand should make sure to visit this breathtaking seaside and the atoll. It is sure to be the fondest memory of any treveller’s journey to Thailand.
