Phang Nga Bay

Phang Nga Bay, Thailand

Phang Nga Bay in Thailand is a mesmerizing natural wonder known for its colossal limestone karsts that rise dramatically from the emerald-green Andaman Sea. This stunning seascape, located between Phuket, Phang Nga, and Krabi, covers 249 square miles and is protected by the Ao Phang Nga National Park. The bay is home to over 40 mostly uninhabited islands, with Ko Yao Yai and Ko Yao Noi being the largest. Visitors can enjoy sightseeing tours by traditional boats, sailing yachts, and sea kayaks, exploring hidden lagoons and sandy beaches. The high season from November to April is perfect for exploring iconic sites like James Bond Island and the floating fishing village of Ko Panyi. For a more relaxing experience, hop on a private boat tour from Phang Nga Town or Phuket to witness the majestic karsts and limestone cliffs. Adventure enthusiasts can opt for sea-kayaking trips to explore secluded areas not accessible by traditional boats. The bay is a popular filming location for movies and offers breathtaking views of sunrise and sunset, making it a must-visit destination for travelers.
