Cut through Phang Nga Bay’s limestone towers on a private speedboat, snorkel sheltered bays, and eat lunch on the stilted shores of Panyi Village. This private charter puts James Bond Island and lesser-known coves on your schedule with room to customize.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Wind and wake set the tempo as a private speedboat slides out of the harbor into Phang Nga Bay, limestone karsts rising from jade water and daring you to look closer. The engine’s cadence gives way to a quieter rhythm near mangrove channels where water laps against vertically striped cliffs and sea swifts wheel overhead.

Wildlife
History
Ko Panyee was founded by 19th‑century Malay fishermen who built a floating village and later raised houses on stilts; Phang Nga Bay’s karsts expose limestone formed in shallow Tethys Sea tens of millions of years ago.
Conservation
The bay’s reefs and mangroves are sensitive to boat traffic and sunscreen pollution—use reef‑safe products, avoid anchoring on coral, and follow local guidelines.

Boarding and footwear
Wear slip-resistant water shoes you can leave on for short beach landings and wet gangways; boarding can be slippery.
Sun protection
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and polarized sunglasses—the sun reflects hard off the bay and UV is strong year-round.
Snorkel expectations
Snorkeling gear is provided but fins typically are not; bring your own if you prefer stronger propulsion or plan to swim longer distances.
Cash for villages
Carry small Thai baht for souvenirs or snacks in Panyi Village—card payment is limited in the stilt village.
