CostFrom THB 1,400
Quieter than the four-island circuit and better for kayaking — you paddle through a cave into an enclosed lagoon. Good snorkelling on the outer reef.
How to visit it well
- Go by longtail from Ao Nang, not speedboat, if you want the hongs.
- Check the tide: the lagoon entrance is impassable at low water.
- Bring reef-safe sunscreen.
