Day 5 - Phuket, Thailand

Phuket, Thailand was our destination today.   

Hong by Starlight Sea Cave Kayaking and Loy Krathong Floating

We booked a took with John Gray's 10 hour long boat ride from Phuket.

We discovered the hidden “hong” lagoons and sea caves of Phang Nga Bay.  After lunch on the boat, our guide paddled us  through Koh Panak Cave and the caves and lagoons around Hong Island. x

Here is the route we sailed to get to the islands.

This is the boat with sailed and where we ate lunch, dinner and made our beautiful flower arrangements

Our boat near thelimstonemountains.

We got into inflatable canoes (with a guide) and went through caves and tunnels in the limestone formations. At the end of tsome of the tunnels there were small lakes surrounded by mangroves.

Our guide helped each of us make our own “Krathong” offering arrangement to float in Koh Panak Cavelater this evening.  These are made from banana leaves and orchids.

Making progress on our arrangement.

After sunset we got back into our canoes and our guides paddled us near the caves to release the lighted flower arrangements.

Here we are making a wish and releasing our arrangement.

What a fabulous day!
