The province of Phang Nga

Phang Nga is a province in southern Thailand which is located just above Phuket. Best known for Phang Nga Bay, famous for its impressive limestone islands, its sea caves and the famous James Bong Island, the province is also home to the most beautiful snorkeling, snorkeling and diving destinations in Thailand, namely the Siles Similan and Surin.

If the capital of the province is Phang Nga, from a tourist perspective, it is the seaside town of Khao Lak which attracts the most foreign tourists. It is also one of Thailand's surfing spots. Besides Ao Phang Nga National Park where Phang Nga Bay and Koh Similan and Surin are located, there are also traditional fishing villages and ancient Buddhist temples for those who want to get off the beaten track. The ancient town of Takua Pa is as interesting as the Little Amazon which is not very far away.

Whether it's boat tours in the bay, snorkeling excursions in postcard landscapes, kayaking through sea caves, relaxing on beaches or exploring the wilderness, the province of Phang Nga is one of the beautiful destinations in southern Thailand, even if the town of Khao Lak itself does not have much charm.
