Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

Morning light slices across karst cliffs as you leave Phuket by speedboat, the sea opening into a scatter of limestone islands that rise straight from blue-green water. By mid-morning you’re swapping to a longtail and sliding into a sit-inside kayak, paddling between narrow channels, exploring a hong (a flooded cave-like lagoon) and landing on a quiet sand spit where lunch is served.

History

Phang Nga Bay’s islands were shaped by sea-level changes and have long been used by Malay and fisher communities; Koh Yao Noi still retains small-scale fishing and rubber-tapping traditions.

Conservation

Visitors are encouraged to use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid touching coral and take all rubbish back to the mainland; the area is managed under Phang Nga Bay National Park rules to protect marine habitats.
