Limestone cliffs tower toward the sky, idyllic islands, villages, forests and emerald water that dazzle the worst of critics still don’t define the beauty of Phang-Nga Bay, located in the province of Krabi Thailand. If you are booking resorts in Phi Phi, Krabi and or Phuket, all areas from which Phang Nga can be reached, make sure you book a boat trip excursion to this beautiful location.
Snorkeling, swimming and canoeing between caves and cliffs is only part of the fun while on this excursion. Visiting the islands in the bay of which most are uninhabited is another. These include the iconic Phi Phi Island, James Bond Island, Koh Panyi which is inhabited by a small community selling hand craft to visitors, Koh Racha featuring the Racha Resort, Koh Yao which is pristine and idyllic featuring romantic resorts such as Santhiya and several other islets with no inhabitants.
Apart from being able to take day and night boat cruises around the bay, kayaking through caves systems of which the roofs have collapsed over time is an absolutely awesome experience. The monkeys and birds and other fauna and flora makes you wonder why you took so long to visit this Eden.
Several tour operators will welcome the opportunity to take you on guided tours of the bay and the opportunity to kayak in an unbelievable environment. If you are going to stay in Phuket, Krabi, or Phi Phi, make sure you book a tour around Phang-Nga Bay. You can do this in advance or with any of the operators found in Phuket or Krabi.
