Phang Nga Bay

Bordering Phuket to the west, Chumphon in the north and Krabi in the east.

Some unique islands in the Andaman Sea, bizarre limestone formations have been used as backdrop in several movies like in James Bond -the Man with the Golden Colt-, -the Beach- with Leonardo Di Caprio -on Phi Phi Island a little bit further south- and other.

Dense green tropical fauna, warm turquoise waters and pristine beaches are typical. When you come from Phuket on the way to Krabi you will see the Phunga Hotel at the right just before Ao Phang Nga. At the intersection just following this hotel turn right and you will end up at the pier.

There are always longtail boats around, rent one and negotiate the price, you must be tough otherwise they milk you merciless. Take a boat having at least a cover on the top otherwise you get a real sunburn.

When making this tour don't forget to take some earplugs with you, otherwise it will be a deafening ride over flat waves since the unmuffled engine is fixed very loosely at the back of the boat and makes a terrible noise, there is no way to escape, all longtail boats are made like this.

This is a great water world and the only way to enjoy this is by boat, there is no other way since the interesting stuff are the bizarre limestone islands. To get some better idea of the area take a few days accommodation in one of the hotels.

Ko Panyi

something to eat, be aware that everyone wants to sell you something.

Ko Panyi was founded by Indonesian fishermen in the 18.th Century similar to other places in southern Thailand

Explore the incredible limestone formations, the natural formed caves and have a dive in the pleasant tropical water, just tell the boatmen to stop on a beach you like and jump.

If you go swimming or just walk around in the splendid waters keep your shoes on or use dive boots, sometimes there are quite sharp coral pieces and other stuff around which is not visible but has sharp edges and after having a cut is having a problem.

This area is full of breathtaking

panoramas, full of excitement which makes you -gasp- oh - ah and I cant believe.

Beaches are so many, nobody actually know how many, but for sure enough.

Long Island in the bay

In the emerald sea you will find your own private island with a beautiful white stretch of sand. There are several secluded beach resorts on private islands.
