Escape bustling Bangkok city and step into paradise in Phuket where a dazzling blue sea greets visitors. Relaxation is life’s motto in this part of southern Thailand and the tropical weather and pristine coastal surroundings make Phuket’s beaches a place of blissful tranquility.
Phuket’s Phang Nga Bay is the backdrop of many a Phuket luxury resort where white sands border the calm sea and majestic limestone rocks rise sharply from sea-bed to create a mesmerizing sight which attracts hundreds of visitors to Phuket’s shore each year. While the view from Phuket hotels like Point Yamu by COMO, Phuket, Thailand is breathtaking, it cannot be compared to the view from the middle of Phang Nga Bay. Blessed with calm waters, year-around good weather and beautiful natural surroundings, snorkeling and sea kayaking are popular recreational activities in Phuket.
Take a guided tour of Phuket’s Phang Nga Bay to learn the centuries-old history of its iconic limestone rocks and venture into the mysterious caves situated in the surrounding mountains. Enjoy blissful solitude as you escape the crowded shores of James Bond Island and Koh Paynee and voyage on your own towards the limestone cliffs that watch over the Phuket coastline. Soak in the surroundings as the sleek kayak glides across the calm sea towards nearby rock formations allowing you to admire nature’s hand in each crevice on the rough, uneven surface of the limestone rocks.
Experience the thrill of discovery as you enter the mysterious caves that lie imbedded in Phang Nga Bay’s surrounding cliffs. If the caves’ high ceilings and dark interior don’t inspire you to relive your childhood fantasy, then the discovery of ‘Hongs’ at Phang Nga Bay will do the trick! Found deep within the rocky islands between Phang Nga Bay and Krabi, Hongs are collapsed cave systems that are open to the sky. Here, in this oasis of the sea, you can safely put down your oars to admire the Hongs’ unique natural setting amidst the towering cliffs and wilderness and watch tropical birds take flight.
