Yacht Destination

Phang Nga Bay

A maze of limestone karsts, sea caves and hidden lagoons, Phang Nga Bay is one of Thailand’s most dramatic and photogenic cruising grounds.

Thailand’s limestone wonderland

Phang Nga Bay stretches between Phuket and the Krabi mainland, a protected marine area filled with sheer rock towers, mangrove channels and mirror-calm water. It’s one of the smoothest, most comfortable places to cruise – perfect for families and first-timers.

The bay is famous for its movie locations, but its real magic lies in the hidden "hongs" (rooms): collapsed cave systems that form secret lagoons accessible only by kayak or small tender.

What you can experience

Sea-cave kayaking through narrow tunnels into hidden lagoons
A visit to James Bond Island, the bay’s most iconic rock pinnacle
Gentle swimming and paddleboarding in calm, sheltered anchorages
Exploring local life at floating villages and fishing communities

Cruising Phang Nga Bay from Phuket gives you front-row seats to sunrise or sunset among the karsts – a truly magical way to experience this UNESCO-worthy landscape.

James Bond Island (Khao Phing Kan)

A distinctive needle-like rock and sheltered bay made famous by the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun. Best enjoyed from the water or during a quiet early-morning visit by tender.

Hong Islands & Sea Caves

Clusters of limestone islands hiding emerald lagoons at their centre. Paddle through narrow cave tunnels at low tide to discover tranquil inner “rooms” surrounded by towering cliffs and jungle.
