This is Koh Hong, Krabi. There are 2 islands called Koh Hong in the area, one on the Krabi side and the other more twards Phang Nga. I believe that "hong" literally means "room" and it is the term given to the fascinating lagoons in some of the islands of Phang Nga Bay. Some of the "hongs" can be reached, as in this case, by boat at full tide, while others can only be reached by canoe (through caves) at certain stages of the tide. Once inside these 'hongs" it is a different world as it is so still and peaceful except for the sound of the birds. I first encounterd these 'hongs' many years ago on a canoe trip and was instantly mesmerised by their sheer beauty.
