The hongs
("rooms" in Thai) are caves that lost their tops - literally.
Towering rock walls, sky blue ceilings, and watery carpeting, these dramatic
rooms are the private sanctuary of all manner of plant and animal life. Dark
tunnels, eroded from the stone, are the only way in and out. During the
course of the day, you will come face to face with inquisitive monkeys, saw
bats hanging a comfortable distance overhead, and grasped gnarled mangrove
roots that twisted into knee-deep mud. Silence is only interrupted by oars
dipping in water.
