Distant from Phuket by a boat-ride length, Phang Nga Bay consists of spectacular limestone islands. Among the islands, Koh Ping-gan, also called James Bond Island, has one majestic rock pinnacle going through the water and is one of the most striking islands. Nearby, Ko Pannyi Island (Sea Gypsy Island) has a village on stilts and perched over water. There’s a monolith just hovering at the back.

Discovering the Magic of Phang Nga Thailand
By Stephan Suttikarn
Giddy with excitement as you set out to unravel Phang nga Thailand?
Before you set out on your journey, make sure you get utmost enjoyment by knowing bits and pieces about the varied attractions that the exquisite destination has to offer. Whether it’s beach and island attractions (which are ideal to visit towards the later part of November until April) of Phang nga Thailand, or its nature parks and interesting wildlife, or perhaps the historic sites, or a taste of paradise at Phang Nga Bay located in southern Thailand you’re dreaming of – you can explore them all to your heart’s content with just a bit of planning.
Phang nga Thailand may be a bit far especially for travelers coming all the way from other Asian countries, but those who have seen its natural beauty will exclaim that it is worth the trip. The place is steeped in history and tradition and offers pleasant little surprises especially for those who have the wanderlust in them and are raring to savor moments of quiet solitude in harmony with nature. It’s a dream destination, indeed. Picture yourself in total relaxation and all settled in a modern resort with a private terrace overlooking cool waters, with only the splashing of waves, the cool breeze and the idea of seeing colorful wildlife like dolphins, turtles, porcupines, or setting out on a diving or spelunking adventure breaking your reverie.
You can make it all a reality. For starters, you can book yourself at a luxury hotel like the Phang Nga Bay Resort Hotel located at the Phang Nga Bay National Marine Park which offers scenic views wherever you look. Famished from your long-haul trip? Nourish yourself first with authentic Thai cuisine, along with Chinese and Western cuisine served at the hotel restaurant. Arm yourself with the habits and rules generally observed by the Thais. If, by some remote chance, you happen to have a complaint over service, be calm and soft-spoken about it, and keep that smile until you reach a resolution. From the resort hotel, you can arrange to have a boat take you to the beach of your dreams.
If uncovering secret spots like hidden lagoons and basking in the unsullied wilderness of the islands of Phang Nga Bay proves highly irresistible, there’s no reason to deprive yourself of the joy of exploring them. It may interest you to know that the Ao Phang-Nga Bay National Park right in the heart of Phang nga Thailand is teeming with striking coves and mangrove forests. For your underwater adventure, you will come across sea snakes and other sea creatures. On land, you may stumble across numerous reptiles and mammals, including gibbons and langurs. Another scenic spot worth checking out is the limestone hill in the sea.
If you’re considering booking a long holiday in Phang nga Thailand, you may want to include in your itinerary an exploration of the corals of Moo Koh Similan.
Opt to stay in places, like luxury hotels with all the amenities you need, and which will actually get you close to nature. Thailand offers a surreal experience you will long remember, so plan ahead and you will not miss out on the many wonders which the country, particularly Phang-nga, has to offer.
