John Gray: This Caveman creation finishes the movie others call the Sunset trip. Depart your hotel at mid-day for a quiet afternoon of nature, sea cave/Hong exploration and a superb Thai Seafood Sunset dinner. In the late afternoon, you experience the tranquility of real Nature and enjoy the Time Machine ambiance that made the hongs famous in the first place. The Wonderful Time of Day accentuates the ambiance even more than our decade-old original day trips.

Then after dark, things get mystical - beyond description and imagination.

Even before we started Every Night Is Loi Kratong, the clippings say it all so does everybody who lives the feeling. Hong by Starlight is the latest Don't Miss spiritual experience in a string of Caveman Creations beginning on Molokai in 1983. This mind-bender is so off-the-Hong-Wall that Caveman thinks it is better in Monsoon season. The darker the better the bio-lumiscence, and lightening and thunder amplify the mysticism.

High Season clear nights include stars so bright they carpet the sky. That is when we enjoy Loi Kratong, a Thai water festival celebration with floats laden with flowers, candles and incense.
Motoring to the Bay takes about an hour. With trip briefing, Nature Game instructions and light lunch we make the first cave before you know it. In transit, we pass a couple of dozen day trip boats on their way back to Phuket. The Bay is almost empty when you arrive at the sea caves.

Spend an uncrowded afternoon exploring several cave/hong systems. You learn what made these unique sites, the wildlife within them, and the Eco-system bringing it all together. In the late afternoon, you experience the tranquility of real Nature, and enjoy the Time Machine ambiance that made the hongs famous in the first place. We are slaves to the tides, but you usually get at least four different caves and hongs, swimming time and a free paddle before Sunset.
