There are several low caves at Ko Hong

            I am on the Ao Phang Nga National Park speedboat tour, known more popular as the James Bond Islands tour, out of Phuket, Thailand. We have just made our second halt of the day at Ko Hong, for a spot of kayaking. In fact sea kayaking at Phang Nga Bay is considered to one of the not to be missed activities in Phuket.  Today's speedboat tour has a bit too rough and ready for my liking as there were many spots where getting off and onto the boat was difficult, especially this one here, where you have to transfer from your speedboat onto an incredibly unstable and rocking rubber kayak and then find your balance and sit down without tumbling into the sea! Ouch! Fortunately, I live to tell the tale. There are several low caves at Ko Hong like the ones you see in the distance, so part of the thrill of kayaking here is to go through some of those caves. With three pax per kayak, including the boatman,  it's actually quite unnerving to be in the middle of the sea and gliding gently on the turquoise waters, knowing fully well that one wrong move and down into the sea you go.
