Another amazing attraction in the middle of the ocean, similar to a tombolo in other places. But this one is made of all the shells and has become a long 3 meters way, connecting 3 islands. Creating a winding path so from a bird's eye view, it looks like a backbone of a dragon, which is also another nickname of this place. It will be visible in low tides, morning and evening. Visit when the sun is setting and walk along the path for an unforgettable moment.

This is the longest saltwater pass-through cave in Thailand, with more than 4 kilometres and has a history of a million year.

A national park of 196 sq. Meters cover lots of forests and mountains. Most of the space is occupied with high and low mountains, containing important sources of water.

Then you can row and float through it and you will meet Prasat Hin Pun Yod. It looks like a castle made of rocks, surrounding you in a 360 degree. Big and tall – very impressive.

Wang Sai Thong is a waterfall with small steps and tiers. Climb up on top of the waterfall here and later feel refreshed when you finally get to dip down into the cold water! Look at the unique scenery and take a break for a while. Sometimes you could see a golden flow from the water, which contains minerals and makes the water yellow color.

Definitely the best place to take a rest and be able to stay for a night peacefully. The island is divided into 3 big islands with locals living in the area. You could go camping or do a homestay in a village. For those slow-life travellers, visiting Bulon Islands is a must.
