SPECIAL PHANG NGA BAY ALL YEAR ROUND CRUISE
Phang Nga Bay is a sheltered area between the island of Phuket and mainland Thailand, stretching north to the Phang Nga province. The bay has over 100 islands (including James Bond Island, which was featured in the 1974 Bond film "The Man with the Golden Gun"), and is famous for its sheer limestone rocks formations that rise vertically out of the crystal waters creating a stunning panoramic view.
Phang Nga Bay has a great advantage over many other cruising areas in the region because it can be visited year round with anchors for both the North East Monsoon and the South West Monsoon Seasons.
