Phang Nga not alone, full day tour of Phang Nga Bay, Ice Cream Cave, Ko Thalu, James Bond Island, Ko Panyi, not disloyal. If you're going to buy a sea tour, buy a full day one. For Phang Nga this year, there are more tourists than before. It's a weekday, not even high season. Eight tourists went out to sea (including sookjai holiday), which is considered a lot for the secondary city of Phang Nga.
If you are interested in traveling to Phang Nga Bay after reading this post, go straight to Phang Nga Province. You can buy sea tours from tourist service shops or inquire at hotels. The service provider will send a songthaew to pick you up in front of the hotel in the morning (it's good to have breakfast first) to take you to the PAO pier and then take a boat trip.
The current Phang Nga Bay tourist route from the PAO pier passes Ko Ma Chu and many other islands that are not visited, but you can take pictures. Arriving at Tham Lod first, Phang Nga Bay has 2 Tham Lod. For the first cave, the boat cannot pass through because buoys are placed for kayaking and swimming.
The boat sails through the hot sun in the Andaman Sea, passing many beautiful and strange limestone islands. Although the weather is hot, you get a cool breeze from the sea. It's good to bring a bottle of cold drinking water or soda, or put ice in a cold storage glass, because the world is really hot now.
Arriving at Ice Cream Cave, receive a flashlight each and walk through the cave to see the emerald green lagoon inside. The cave is airy and not humid. Walk for less than 5 minutes to reach the rock channel to see the lagoon.
It's lunchtime. If the boat driver doesn't use any beach to park and eat on the boat, you may get to go down to the secret beach of Ko Hong (different from Ko Hong, Krabi Province) to rest and have lunch (boxed rice). Anyone can go down to swim at this secret beach first.
Heading to Khao Phing Kan, where James Bond Island (formerly Ko Tapu) is a part. It has changed from its original name that looked like a nail because it became a filming location for a world-class spy movie. People all over the world have agreed to call it James Bond Island. Saying the name once, everyone understands. Now James Bond Island has changed a lot. To support tourism activities, there is a first aid point. When traveling in Phang Nga Bay, if there is an accident, seasickness, sunstroke, or food allergies, you can receive first aid at James Bond Island.
Arriving at Ko Panyi (not disloyal), the boat driver said in a clear southern accent, giving you a full hour to visit Ko Panyi. I really liked it because I had been to Ko Panyi once before. At that time, I had 20 minutes to walk around, like they just wanted me to stop by for a meal and hurry back. This time, I got to walk around and take pictures of the island. The boat will drop off tourists at the pier of the restaurant in front of the island. But if you're not hungry, you can walk along the Ko Panyi market. But if you're hungry or thirsty, you can sit and play at the restaurant.
Highlights of tourism on Ko Panyi
Wander around and see the way of life of the islanders, such as raising birds in the local area.
Visit the children at Ko Panyi School.
Kick a football at the floating football field for 2-3 goals.
Visit the beautiful mosque of Ko Panyi.
Buy shrimp paste chili dip, a good product of Ko Panyi.
The change of Ko Panyi from when sookjai holiday visited once before is that now there are many beautiful cafes in the market (there weren't any before). Especially when the weather is hot, having a cold drink and sitting in a beautiful cafe on the island in the middle of the sea is a refreshing break.
The last program, the boat stops to let you see the color paintings on the limestone cliffs, called Khao Khian. The color paintings are in the cave. It's not hard to find, but if you don't see it, ask the boat driver immediately. Observe the color paintings that tell the story of rituals, lifestyles about 3,000 years ago. Written in red with hematite ore, the colors are still clear and more prominent than many other places.
Leaving Khao Khian, travel back to the pier. The same songthaew is waiting to take you back to your bedroom (or if you don't want to go back to the hotel, you can tell them where you want to be dropped off). This concludes the full day tour of Phang Nga Bay that everyone can travel to.
