💎 Emerald cave; 6 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sailing Malallo ⛵️🏄

Like ⛪churches in Europe, hongs in Thailand get quite samey-samey after a while. As amazing as they are, if you've seen a couple you've kinda seen them all. The exception being Ko Muk. After an extensive Phang Nga Bay hong tour I've formed a somewhat sophisticated view of what makes a good hong. To be honest I think I've become a bit of a hong snob. Maybe a hong connoisseur🍷. Here's my criteria for judging a hong; 1. Secret entrance 2. Fully enclosed 3. Clear water / can swim 4. Tropical interior 5. Not crowded 6. Adventure found While most hongs tick a majority of the boxes, Ko Muk goes for the clean sweep. 🚪Firstly, the entrance is pretty much hidden. Without a few tourist boats 🚤 bobbing around outside it would have been difficult to find. 🤿 Then a swim through an 80m pitch-black water cave. No dinghy, no kayak. Just fins, a torch and a few feet of breathing room. Slightly intimidating 😨. There's a mental note somewhere in my brain about Thailand and caves. Anyway, continue. Adventure awaits. Once through, it opens into a fully enclosed secret beach🐚🦀 with huge vertical walls 🏞️, clear water and a white sand beach ⛱️ surrounded by lush, tropical hong fauna 🌿. I could quite easily have laid down and taken a long peaceful sleep. Quite literally the epitome of a secret beach paradise. ...and only a few other people inside! Maybe we lucked into that one? We're not complaining! So to conclude this 📽️ episode of Malallo Hong Adventures 2024; Ko Muk gets 6 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. If you're looking for adventure, we would highly recommend it. Another day, another memory. Onward …
