Discover one of the most picturesque and beautiful seascapes in Thailand during this memorable, half-day speedboat excursion to Phang Nga.


Phang Nga Bay National Park

Depart the pier for the 40 minutes bus transfer to the speedboat jetty. After receiving your safety and boating instructions, embark the speedboat for an unforgettable one hour cruise to Phang Nga Bay National Park. En route, pass by a breath-taking seascape of limestone stacks, and marvel at how the dramatic colouring of ochre and amber hues contrasts vividly with the marvellous blue of the water. The seascape of the bay is nothing short of magical, and its awesome scenery is well worth the trip.


Khao Ping Kan Island

Whilst exploring this wondrous region, visit some of its most distinct landmarks. Your first stop is at Khao Ping Kan Island. Popularly known as James Bond Island, it was here where the filming of the last scene of The Man with the Golden Gun took place. Following some free time at your leisure on the island, your cruise continues on to Koh Panyi.


Koh Panyi & Scenic Cruise

This water village is comprised of more than 200 houses built on stilts, with attached wooden walkways. Its residents originally migrated from Indonesia over 200 years ago. After a brief stop here, embark the speedboat for the return ride to the jetty. Along the way cruise past mangrove swamps, Hong and Panak islands, and the grotto cave.


Lunch

Re-board the coach for a 30-minutes drive to a local restaurant right on the Chalong Bay beachfront with a view on mooring sailing boats and islands in the far.
