Phang Nga Province may be less well known than Phuket and Krabi, but the province boasts some hugely popular places like Khao Lak, Similan Islands, Surin Islands and James Bond Island. It’s just that people usually do not associate these places with Phang Nga. With this post I want to highlight Phang Nga; this incredible province with strangely shaped hills and caves in Phang Nga Bay to the south, and tropical islands on the Andaman Sea to the west with the best snorkeling in Thailand.
