Boat Trips

Ao Thalene Bay & Mangrove The Phang Nga Bay is surrounded by large mangrove forests. The forests are full of exotic birds, monkeys and monitor lizards. They are a shelter for young fish and other marine life. Mangrove forests also protect coastal areas against erosion.

About excursion

Phang Nga Bay with its impressive limestone cliffs with caves, collapsed cave systems and archaeological sites is the most interesting day trip to be made. Long time ago, when sea levels were lower, we could walk between Phuket and Krabi. By its emerald-green water and exceptional nature, the bay has become one of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Phang Nga Bay‟s special formations were created through the thawing of ice 18.000 years ago. Rising waters then submerged arid calcareous mountains, leaving only their peaks visible to the eye. The bay was turned into a marine park in 1981. One of its popular attractions is the “stilts” village of Koh Panyi, which was built two centuries ago by Muslim sea men coming from Malaysia. The inhabitants make a living via traditional fishing and tourism. Up to 3.000 people disembark there every day at lunchtime. When evening comes, restaurants and gift shops close and the village returns to a slower pace.

A restaurant in the hotel probably the best on the island, offering variety of Thai food and especially fresh seafood!
