Phang Nga Bay
Phang Nga Bay, known as the James Bond Island. (The Man with the Golden Gun) Phuket's top tourist destination situated just 21 miles Northeast of Phuket.
Phang Nga Bay is where verdant limestone islands, honeycombed with caves and aquatic grottos, soar perpendicularly to heights of 984 feet and more from almost perpetually calm waters.
The newly discovered sea caves and 'Hongs' are an exciting feature. These caves and 'Hongs' are open-air cliff-lined cylindrical tidal lagoons connected to the outside world only through stalactite-filled tunnels which were undiscovered until the spring of 1990.

Ko Taphao Noi - The island has not seen much ‘people traffic’ so the forest is thick and a large number of various kinds of bird including hornbills are found on the island. The beaches are beautiful and shallow coral is abundant. The top of Taphao Noi mountain is a good location for viewing Phuket town. The forest here is lush and green. There are a large number of birds, particularly several couples of hornbills. There are long stretches of sandy beaches around the island where tourists can enjoy swimming or snorkeling.
Khao Sok is part of the largest area of rainforest in southem Thailand. The Sok river valley cuts through the jungle and spectacular views of Limestone Mountain and cliffs can be seen. This was once part of an ancient trade route linking China and India.
The world's largest flower, the rare rafflesia, is found here, as are waterfalls, caves thick with bats, and an Amazonian display of muscular vines, creepers, orchids and ferns.
One of the best ways to experience the jungle is to canoe down the Sok river in inflatable canoes. A local guide paddles the canoe and is expert at spotting any animals along the way. The exotic tropical vegetation clinging to the river banks with limestone cliffs and mountains rising up on both sides creates a secret primeval world that very few people ever see. Birds such as hornbill, kingfisher, heron, egret, various reptiles and even wild monkeys live in the area. See our Phuket sightseeing tours
