Sea Canoeing
 The
hong, or "rooms", of Phang Nga Bay and Krabi
are collapsed cave systems open to the sky, filled with jungle
flora and fauna, and often accessible only in tough, purpose-designed
inflatable canoes through sea-caves at low tide. Local operators,
like Sea
Cave Canoe, have so far gained access to dozens of hongs between
Phang Nga and Krabi to the south.
