Amazing scenery, my third visit here. This time, I discovered the view from the top—after climbing 416 steps, you're rewarded with a truly magnificent view of Hong Beach and a vast expanse of Phang Nga Bay, including Lao Lading Island.
We took a longtail boat from Koh Yao Yai and arrived at Hong Island at 8:30 in the morning. We began with the peaceful Nature Trail, which connects to a well-constructed staircase leading up 416 steps to the summit (see photos).
After descending, we enjoyed a swim at the enchanting Hong Beach. Later, we boarded our pre-booked longtail boat to the lagoon on the island's backside, where we had another delightful swim.
What a beautiful island. Hong island is the best in Krabi.
Do take natural trail and also climb up to see the 360 degree view. Amazing place. Not much crowded. You need to pay 300Baht for national park
