Ko Hong. "hong" being the word for "sea cave". The entrance to these hongs is usually a well-hidden little crevice in the cliff-face; a narrow tunnel opening up into an awe-inspiring oasis on the interior.
Thailand-to-Malaysia Singles Sailing Adventure
Phuket to Langkawi
Thailand. All the ingredients one could ever ask from a tropical sailing vacation... stunningly beautiful scenery, a multitude of uncrowded anchorages; underwater wonderlands of coral and multicolored fish; fun nightlife if you want it.

Prevailing wind conditions, one of the greatest things about being on a sailboat is the flexibility to change our minds and our route to suit personal preferences. No two trips are ever exactly the same. The start and finish points are fixed, of course but all else is changeable according to the whims of the wind gods and those on board !
This is an example of a popular itinerary on our Thailand-to-Malaysia trips
Day One
Morning rendezvous in Phuket. Then sail time arrives where we will head north - to the wonderful "seascapes" of Phang-Nga bay! The entrance to these hongs is usually a well-hidden little crevice in the cliff-face; a narrow tunnel opening up into an awe-inspiring oasis on the interior. The limestone formations are so sheer and gravity-defying
Our destination for the evening is Ko Hong. Happy hour with the best pina coladas in the Andaman! - followed by our very own Thai chefs' gourmet dinner on board; an amazing array of tongue-tingling dishes
Day Two
We're heading south on a relaxed morning sail. We'll see more impossibly-balanced rocks, cliffs & islands. The delight today will be another hong to explore en route, paddling through a dramatic, mangrove-lined stream which winds its way inside a huge crevice in the island.
With sheer, palm-covered mountains rising vertically from the ocean, it's a well-known spot for those who like to scare themselves silly scaling these cliffs. At the famous Railey Beach, near Krabi, is where we'll anchor.
Dinner ashore!

Railey Beach
Day Three
Not a "tourist destination" - it's a place that the locals visit to pay their respects to the monk community there. This place is not as overtly dramatic and ornate as some of the more well-known: what attracts us is it's deeply spiritual, calm Buddhist ambiance.
Welcome to Tiger Cave and Temple , a 30 minute minibus ride inland.
You will find a shady hike through an enormous and ancient forest.
There is a whole lot more to discover on this 11 day trip!
Thank you for your visit!
