Phang - Nga is a beautiful province located in the southern of Thailand. Located approximately 87 kilometers from Phuket, it takes about 1 to 1.30 hours to travel by boat, car and bus.

Phang - Nga has many places of interest such as the James Bond Island, Koh Panyee and many tourist activities such as ATV tour, Elephant Riding, White Water Rafting, Caving and Canoeing.

With these many activities, Phang-Nga is still maintaining the nature of its beauty. You will also get the chance to see the daily life of the local fishermen and their fishing activities.

James Bond Island

This famous landmark, called Koh Ping-gan, first found its way onto the international map through its starring role in the James Bond movie 'The Man With the Golden Gun'. And this is where most tours seem to take all of the tourists - all at the same time. The entire area surrounding this island with its signature rocky pinnacle is indeed spectacular, but most of the tours bus visitors up the main highway for an hour on the same well-worn itinerary. An integral part of that tour is lunch at Koh Panyee, a nearby Muslim fishing village.

Koh Panyee (Sea Gypsy Island)

This is a remarkable village, the whole of it built out over water on stilts and with a giant rock monolith guarding its rear. At lunch time, many tourists on the James Bond Island tours are brought in to eat and shop for handicrafts.

As soon as the tourists leave, the community closes up its restaurants and trinket shops and transforms itself from a tourist trap into a quiet community of fishermen.
