Gray squirrels are really worth seeing in one of the islands of Hon Khoai. I was glad I didn't encounter a boa nor a lizard! I really freak out just by the thought of it. My best experience in Hon Khoai was swimming in the white beach - this place is like a paradise - it really has the "natural" feel anyone needs to get away from the busy city.
