Limestone & Sea Caves
Phang Nga Bay
The dreamlike bay of towering limestone karsts, hidden lagoons and sea caves you paddle into — quieter and wilder than its famous neighbours.

See what we love About Phang Nga Bay
Phang Nga is the Andaman at its most cinematic — sheer limestone islands rising straight out of jade-green water, mangrove channels and 'hongs', the hidden lagoons you can only reach by kayak at the right tide. It's calmer and less developed than Phuket or Krabi, which is exactly the point.
Phang Nga, Andaman Coast
Hidden Lagoons
Paddle into 'hongs' — sea caves that open to secret lagoons.
James Bond Island
The iconic leaning karst, best visited early before the boats.
Quiet Islands
Koh Yao's slow village life, a world away from the crowds.
Jungle & Lake
Khao Sok's rainforest and the emerald Cheow Lan lake.
01Where you'll be
A bay of islands, a jungle behind it
Most of Phang Nga's magic is out on the water, with the Khao Sok rainforest inland. Here's how it fits together.
02Getting there
How to get there
There's no airport in Phang Nga — most people fly into Phuket (about an hour's drive north) or Krabi, then transfer by road and boat. We'll arrange the whole connection, including your pier pickup.
