Phang-nga Province
A natural treasure on the Andaman coast, with the limestone wonders of Phang Nga Bay, Khao Lak's beaches and the diving mecca of the Similan Islands.
Phang-nga Province lies on the west coast of southern Thailand, north of Phuket. Phang Nga Bay National Park is studded with limestone islands, which you can explore by longtail boat or sea kayak, visiting "James Bond Island" and a floating Muslim village. The long beaches and resort hotels of the Khao Lak area make it the main departure point for diving and snorkeling in the Similan and Surin Islands. The island national parks generally open from around November to May, when the weather is also at its best. The nearest airport is Phuket International Airport, about 1 to 1.5 hours away by road.
