All the details about your upcoming adventure in one place
Discover the surreal landscapes of Ao Phang Nga National Park, where sheer limestone karsts jut vertically out of the emerald-green Andaman Sea. Most famous for its starring role in the 1974 film 'The Man with the Golden Gun', James Bond Island (Khao Phing Kan) is just one highlight of this spectacular region. Your journey takes you deep into a marine wonderland of hidden lagoons ('hongs'), mysterious sea caves, and mangrove forests that can only be accessed by canoe. Beyond the natural wonders, experience the unique culture of Koh Panyee, a remarkable Muslim fishing village built entirely on stilts over the water, complete with a floating football pitch. Whether you choose a thrilling speedboat ride or a relaxing big boat cruise, a day trip to Phang Nga Bay offers an unforgettable blend of cinematic history, natural beauty, and local culture.

Real experiences from real travelers
We booked the premium speedboat tour and it was fantastic. The canoeing at Hong Island was magical—our paddler took us into hidden lagoons we would never have found alone. Lunch at the floating village was delicious and plenty of options for my vegetarian husband.
The views are exactly like the movies. Ko Ta Pu is stunning. The only downside is it gets very busy at the main island, so try to book an early bird tour if you can. The big boat option was very stable and relaxing.
We did the tour with the canoe add-on. Totally worth it. The guides were funny and kept us safe. The Monkey Cave stop was a fun bonus. Highly recommend booking online to skip the negotiation hassle at the pier.
Everything was well organized from the hotel pickup to the drop-off. The limestone cliffs are breathtaking. The lunch at Panyee Island was a cultural experience in itself. Don't forget your sunscreen!
Phang Nga Bay is a must-see. The boat ride was smooth. I appreciated the cold water and fresh fruit served on board. The national park fee is extra, so bring cash.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Typically, the National Park fee (approx. 300 THB per adult) is NOT included and must be paid in cash on the day of the tour. Check specific ticket details to be sure.
The best time is during the dry season from November to April when the sea is calmest and skies are clear. However, the bay is sheltered, so tours run year-round.
Large luggage is generally not permitted on speedboats due to limited space. It is best to leave heavy bags at your hotel and bring only a day pack.
Yes, almost all full-day tours include a buffet lunch, usually served at the Koh Panyee floating village or on board the big boat.
Wear comfortable swimwear under light clothing (shorts/t-shirt). Bring a sarong or cover-up for visiting the Muslim village and temples.
Yes, the lunch buffets typically accommodate vegetarians and Halal dietary requirements. Notify the operator in advance for specific allergies.
Yes, life jackets are provided and mandatory. The canoeing activity is paddled by a guide, so you can just relax and enjoy the view.
By speedboat, it takes about 45-60 minutes to reach the bay. Big boats take longer (approx. 1.5-2 hours) but offer a more scenic, leisurely cruise.
Tours usually operate in light rain as the scenery is still dramatic. In case of dangerous sea conditions, trips will be cancelled and refunded.
Big boats always have restrooms. Speedboats usually do not, but stops are made at islands with facilities.
Drones are generally not allowed within the National Park boundaries without a special permit, which is difficult to obtain for short visits.
Speedboats are faster, getting you to more locations quickly and are thrilling. Big boats are slower, more stable, offer more room to move around, and are better for those prone to seasickness.
