Phang Nga Bay is one of the most spectacular and iconic seascapes in all of Thailand, a breathtaking expanse of emerald-green water studded with hundreds of towering limestone karsts rising sheer from the sea just north of Phuket. A highlight of virtually every Thai cruise, it offers scenery of surreal and dramatic beauty best explored from the water.
The bay is celebrated for its dramatic limestone pillars and islands, cloaked in jungle and sculpted into fantastical shapes, among them the famous James Bond Island and the beautiful Hong Islands with their hidden lagoons. Secret sea caves and collapsed cave lagoons known as hongs can be explored by tender or kayak, opening into hidden worlds enclosed by soaring cliffs.
The calm, sheltered waters of the bay, protected as a national park, offer superb and serene cruising, with mangrove forests, hidden beaches and abundant birdlife. Its combination of dramatic scenery and tranquil water makes it an unforgettable and idyllic anchorage.
Ashore and afloat, the bay offers fresh seafood, floating villages and a profound sense of natural wonder. Its beauty is exceptional.
With its towering karsts, hidden sea caves and emerald lagoons, Phang Nga Bay is an iconic jewel of Thailand. Guests can cruise among dramatic limestone pillars, kayak into hidden cave lagoons and anchor in the serene, spectacular waters of this unforgettable bay.
