ONLY WITH PANDA PHUKET TOUR

PAK BIA ISLAND

THE EXPERIENCE

PAK BIA ISLAND (KOH PAK BIA) Pak Bia Island (Koh Pak Bia) does not have an extensive record of written human history. It is a small, uninhabited limestone island that is part of Than Bok Khorani National Park, within the archipelago of Koh Hong off the coast of Krabi (Thailand). For most of its existence, it has remained a wild, pristine natural outcrop, visited only occasionally by local fishermen seeking shelter from the monsoons.

PICKUP TIMES

NATURAL FORMATION AND MODERN ERA
 
  • Geological origins: Formed millions of years ago from ancient coral deposits and tectonic movements that uplifted the iconic limestone karst formations of the Andaman Sea.
  • Tidal dynamics: It is famous for its shifting sandbars, which emerge between the rock formations only at low tide.
  • Conservation status: Declared a nationally protected area as part of the marine national park system, in order to preserve its delicate coral reefs and its natural shaded areas.

LAO LADING ISLAND

KOH LAO LADING
SWIMMING AND SNORKELLING: Lao Lading Island (Koh Lao Lading), also known as “Island of Paradise” (Paradise Island), has a quiet history shaped by nature rather than by human settlement. For a long time it has remained an uninhabited, protected sanctuary within Than Bok Khorani National Park, in Krabi province, Thailand. It is historically known for having sheltered local fishermen and, more recently, for becoming a key stop for ecotourism.
MORE INFORMATION

Koh Lao Lading and Koh Pak Bia are part of the Koh Hong, within Than Bok Khorani National Park.

  • Koh Lao Lading: In front of the island lies a beautiful curved beach with crystal-clear waters, ideal for swimming. It serves as a mooring point for tour boats and offers a spectacular view of the beachfront, with the boats lined up and guarded by towering rocky cliffs. It is one of the most photographed spots in the area.

  • Koh Pak Bia: It has a truly distinctive character. When the tide goes out, a sandbar emerges that looks like the sea parting, allowing visitors to walk freely to a small neighboring island, also called Koh Pak Bia.

KOH HONG LAGOON

KOH HONG

KOH HONG LAGOON (THALE NAI) IN KRABI The Koh Hong Lagoon (known locally as Thale Nai) is a stunning pool of emerald water hidden inside Koh Hong, in Krabi (Thailand). The word “Hong” means “room” or “chamber” in Thai, a name inspired by the dramatic ring of limestone cliffs that completely surrounds and hides this inland sea.

MORE INFORMATION
Geological origins
  • Formation: It was formed over millions of years by the gradual erosion of massive limestone rock formations (karst).
  • Inner chamber: The collapse of ancient cave systems and natural weathering created a large open-air inner chamber.
  • Unique geography: It is surrounded by towering vertical cliffs, with a single narrow entrance through which boats glide in.
Local heritage and traditional use
  • Natural shelter: Used for generations by local fishermen from southern Thailand as a safe haven from sudden storms or bad monsoon weather.
  • Livelihood: It was a traditional fishing and seasonal harvesting ground for coastal communities before the arrival of modern tourism.
Modern conservation
  • Protected area: Incorporated as one of the crown jewels of Than Bok Khorani National Park.
  • Strict protection: It is subject to strict regulations that prohibit any commercial or physical development in order to preserve its emerald waters, mangroves and wildlife.

HONG ISLAND

TIME TO RELAX

KOH HONG: The name “Hong” translates as room or chamber in Thai, referring to the island's hidden lagoons or inner chambers. Koh Hong is famous for its natural beauty, with pristine white-sand beaches and turquoise water.

TIME ON THE BEACH

KOH HONG AND KOH HONG LAGOON: Koh Hong (Ko Laopilae) and the Koh Hong Lagoon (Thale Nai) are part of the Moo Koh Hong archipelago, within Than Bok Khorani National Park.
  • Beach and scenery: The island's main feature is its limestone mountain. In front of it stretches a beautiful curved sandy beach shaped like a bird in flight, which stands out for its fine white sand and crystal-clear emerald-green waters.
  • Panoramic viewpoint: At one end of the beach there is a trail with a 419-step iron staircase. From the top of the mountain you can enjoy a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view of Koh Hong beach from above, as well as the many islands scattered across the waters of Krabi and Phang-nga provinces.
  • Koh Hong Lagoon (Thale Nai): The other side of the island is home to this stunning natural wonder: a lagoon that looks like a vast hall in the middle of the sea, surrounded by high cliffs reminiscent of a volcanic crater. Its waters are an intense emerald green, ideal for swimming and for mooring boats. Boats can only enter and leave through a single channel at high tide.
