With its impressive limestone formations and sparkling emerald waters, this cave is a sight to behold. Discover the fascinating history and unique features of this remarkable cave.
Paddle through the calm waters of Hong Island on a kayaking trip. The island, in the Phang Nga Bay region of Thailand, suits kayakers of all levels. With crystal-clear waters and limestone cliffs, it has lagoons and caves to navigate, and a chance to see the island's marine life up close.
Koh Phing Kan (Khao Phing Kan) is the larger limestone island beside Koh Tapu in Phang Nga Bay. The pair became known as James Bond Island after appearing in The Man with the Golden Gun. Boats land on Koh Phing Kan, where you can walk the small beach, look back toward the 20-metre Koh Tapu spire, and photograph the surrounding karst cliffs.

This is a good chance to learn more about daily life and local traditions at Koh Panyi.
Head out to the Ice Cream Cave in Thailand. Located in the Phang Nga Bay region, this cave gets its name from the naturally formed stalactites and stalagmites that resemble scoops of ice cream.

The final stop is Naka Noi Island. Here, you can unwind on the sandy beach, take a dip in the sea, or simply relax in the tranquil surroundings.
