Zatoka Phang Nga
Phang Nga Bay is a wide bay on Thailand's Andaman coast between Phuket and Krabi. Tall limestone cliffs rise from green water, and hidden lagoons, caves and mangroves sit between the islands. Much of the bay is protected as a marine national park.
Most visitors explore it on a boat day trip from Phuket, Krabi or Khao Lak. Sea kayaks, longtail boats and speedboats are the usual ways to see the rocks up close.
