A Guide to Phang-Nga.
Phang-nga, located app. 800km from Bangkok, is a province with two
characters - land and sea - and packed with national parks that
guard magnificent scenery with immensely different attractions.
Most famous is Ao Phang-nga National Park, a geological wonder
filled with islets, sunken caverns and startling rock formations
rising sheer out of the sea. The bay is extremely sheltered
ideal for expeditions of sea canoes to explore the many fascinating
caverns. Phang-nga's andaman coast offers parks of a different kind.
Khao Lak: Khao Lak, 32 kilometres from Takua Pa,
is an interesting destination for travelers. Besides beautiful
beaches it has a magnificent natural jungle which rises to high
hills, cut by streams and cascading waterfalls such as Saeng Thong,
Lam Roo and Chong Fa. Here you can try jungle trekking, rafting,
jeep safaris and elephant trekking or simply cool off in the
waterfalls' plunge pools.
Similan Island: The Similan Islands in the heart of
the Andaman Sea consist of 9 islands and are unparelled in
their exotic beauty and are rated as one of the top ten dive
sites in the world. Snorkelling and dive spots are scattered
around these nine islands with untouched coral reefs, rock
formations and various fish including whale sharks.
Mu Ko Surin National Park: This group of five
islands has been little visited because of its distance from
the coast and the absence of any commercial activity or permanent
population other than Scuba gear is by no means necessary to
get a good look at the reefs, a mere snorkel and mask is
sufficient, making this a perfect destination for those
who would like to have the experience of diving but have
no time for a scuba course. Accommodation
at the National Park are Spartan, but the modest inconvenience of roughing
it will be amply rewarded by the experience supplied.
Koh Yao: Koh Yao islands are located in the
south of Phang-nga Bay, 42 kilometers away from the mainland,
consisting of 44 islands. Of these islands, the two most important
ones are Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai. Koh Yao has many tourist
attractions that still maintain their natural beauty along with
many beautiful beaches. Not far from the coast of Koh Yao are
many exotic islands, which increase the beauty of Koh Yao.
There are a few bungalow
operations providing basic but very charming
accommodations.
Traveling to Koh Yao Yai is like traveling back in time
