The Koh Hong archipelago is a group of small islands between Krabi and the northern part of Phang Nga Bay, and east of Koh Yao Noi. Koh Hong, the main island is located around 24 nautical miles to the east of Phuket. This island can also be approached via a short cut between the two Koh Yao Islands subject to tide conditions. Via the short cut the island is about 16 nautical miles east of Phuket. Many of the islands here have fringing coral reefs rich in colour and marine life. Larger fish such as Spanish Mackerel, Jackfish, Rainbow Runners and Barracuda readily go for fishing lines in these waters.
