Hong by Starlight
John Gray's Sea Canoe
“What’s a hong?” It’s a hidden sea cave — and on this unique Phang Nga Bay tour, you’ll paddle gently into these secluded chambers by canoe. As the sun sets over the bay, the experience deepens: glowing waters, the hush of nightfall, and perhaps even fireflies. In the darkened hong, you’ll float a self-made candle in a beautiful Loi Krathong-style ritual, illuminating bioluminescent plankton in a moment of pure serenity.
