The name's Phang, Phang Nga. If you want to be shaken and stirred
by some of Thailand's most magnificent natural scenery, this is the
place to head. Phang Nga is one of Thailand's southern provinces,
leading out to the stunning Andaman Sea. Think lush green forests,
mangroves and glistening white sand.
One of it's most popular attractions is James Bond Island in Phang
Nga Bay on the east side. This is actually easier to visit from
Phuket or Krabi, though it's still officially part of this region.
A wealth of sheer limestone islands that rise vertically out of the
ocean, the most famous one is so called because it featured in
The Man With The Golden Gun. And as movie sets go, this
one's pretty dreamy. It's possible to see most of the area in a
day's boat trip, but be warned that it's ridiculously popular with
tourists so you'll be sharing the experience with many, many
others.
Off the west coast - a couple of hours by speedboat - are the
idyllic Surin Islands, with their implausibly clear waters, a mecca
for serious divers. You can reach them in a day trip from
The Sarojin or Aleenta
Resort.
In the north of the region, Koh Phra Thong is one of the largest
and least-developed islands in the whole of Thailand, with endless
sandy beaches all to yourself, azure seas and only a couple of
resorts, one of which is Golden Buddha Resort.
