Probably 90% of the tourists traveling to the southern part of Thailand and Phuket island would sign up for a day-trip to Phang Nga Bay - and most of them would expect the James Bond island tho be the biggest attraction of the tour!
Well, the James Bond island is certainly the most famous spot in this bay, but it is just one of the hundreds of spectacular limestone cliffs raising out of the sea. We have found the scenery of the entire Phang Nga Bay very spectacular as we have been cruising between the limestone islands, most of them being covered by evergreen mangrove forests. Along the tour we also had the chance to explore some hidden coaslines and caves by paddling sea canoes:
Another famous spot of the bay is Koh Panyi, a muslim fishing village; here we had our lunch, as most of the tourists boats organize there lunch at one of the seafood restaurants of the floating village.
Our tour ended at the Suwankuha Temple, also known as the 'Monkey cave'. Zoli decided to feed the monkeys with bananas and approached them with a lot of enthusiasm. All of the sudden, he was surrounded by a group of even more enthusiastic monkeys determined to get a piece of the delicatesse in his hand. There were many of them coming from all over, even mother monkeys with little babies hanging on to them. It wasn’t long until Zoli dropped all the bananas and looked around with big scary eyes (saying "baszzatok meg") - as you can see on the picture below:
