Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

James Bond Island, officially known as Khao Phing Kan, is a famous limestone karst rising dramatically from the emerald waters of Phang Nga Bay, Thailand. Its unique shape and stunning surroundings make it a popular tourist destination. The island gained international fame after being featured in the 1974 James Bond movie, *The Man with the Golden Gun*, where it served as the villain's lair. Visitors flock to admire its natural beauty, explore nearby caves and lagoons, and take boat tours around the bay, soaking in the picturesque scenery and tranquil atmosphere of this iconic landmark.

Canoeing through Panak Island in Phang Nga Bay is an unforgettable experience. The adventure begins as you paddle through crystal-clear waters, surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and lush mangroves. As you glide along, hidden caves and secluded lagoons reveal themselves, accessible only by canoe. The highlight is navigating through narrow passages to discover stunning "hong" (rooms) – hidden open-air caves filled with serene pools, where the silence is broken only by the sound of nature. The tranquility and beauty of Panak Island’s hongs offer a peaceful retreat, making this canoeing experience a must for nature and adventure lovers alike.

Panyee Floating Village, nestled in Phang Nga Bay, is a unique and authentic destination that offers visitors an unforgettable glimpse into a traditional way of life. Built entirely on stilts over the water, the village has been home to a Muslim fishing community for over two centuries. Its colorful houses, local markets, and welcoming residents create a charming atmosphere, making it a must-visit spot in the region.

A highlight of the visit is an open buffet lunch, featuring fresh seafood and local Thai delicacies. Enjoying your meal with panoramic views of the bay and surrounding limestone cliffs adds to the experience, making it both delicious and scenic.

Panyee is also known for its floating football field, a symbol of the village's creativity and resilience. Exploring the village's wooden walkways and witnessing its authentic culture makes for a truly memorable experience in Phang Nga Bay.

Rangyai Island, located in Phang Nga Bay, is a serene, secluded spot perfect for relaxation. Its white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters offer the ideal setting for a refreshing swimming break. The island’s peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty make it a hidden gem for travelers seeking tranquility.
