Thailand's beauty is further enhanced by another very beautiful island that is the Koh Hong Island in Krabi. The literal meaning of Hong Island can be split in two parts where Koh means Island and Hong means room, thus making it the "room island". The Hong Island has the shape of a doughnut. The island is hollowed out and when entering this hollowed out island by a boat is like entering a giant reception hall with two doors. The entry point of the island is so small that only a Thai boat fits in it. Once entered into the island, one can find a large natural lagoon. The water in its surrounding is calm and emerald clear. The shallow water of the lagoon gives Hong Island an astonishing beauty. Rich green vegetation surrounds the place and one can come across complete silence in this place. It seems that ones own voice is echoing the paddling sounds of the boat can be heard. A complete seclusion can be discovered in this place. For a tourist the feeling of nature's glory and magnificence bestowed in the Koh Hong Island is worth a million.
