Phang Nga and Yao Yai in one day

Phang Nga Bay is famous for its limestone cliffs, caves, and emerald lagoons. In one day you'll pass through Panak Island cave, see Khao Tapu rock from James Bond Island, have lunch on Panyi Island, and canoe through the mangroves of Hong Island.

The second half of the day is Yao Yai Island: 'Dragon Crest' beach at Laem Haad with swimming, SUP board, and clear kayak, then a private beach club with a floating water park.

Tips

Takhir’s tips

Late departure

Meet at the pier at 10:00 — you can sleep in and have breakfast at your hotel. Return to the pier at 18:00.

Tides decide

Which cave you visit on Panak and the order of the route depends on tides and weather.

What to bring

Reef Safe sunscreen, a waterproof phone bag, and some cash — handy for the islands.

If you get seasick

It’s best to take motion sickness pills in advance — ask at the pharmacy how long before departure. Sit closer to the center of the boat and look at the horizon.

With kids

Kids’ rate is for ages 3–11; I’ll confirm the child’s price when booking. Bring a sun hat, sunscreen, and a change of clothes for the kids.
