Koh Hong is part of a group of islands north of Krabi. Koh Hong has only one beach but it is recognized for being extremely beautiful, boasting fine white sand, coral and lots of varieties of tropical fish. Pelay Beach is framed by limestone rock formations which give it an enclosed feel. Coupled with the fact that there are seldom many people there, Koh Hong very much offers a ‘deserted island’ experience. Its name comes from an eroded group of caves in the middle of the island which harbours a large lake with a small passage to the sea.
