Phang Nga
พังงา
Phang Nga is home to one of the world's most extraordinary seascapes, where hundreds of limestone karst towers rise vertically from the emerald waters of Phang Nga Bay, immortalised as James Bond Island in 'The Man with the Golden Gun.' The province encompasses the Similan Islands, consistently ranked among the world's top ten dive sites for their crystal-clear waters and pristine coral reefs. Khao Lak, rebuilt after the devastating 2004 tsunami, has evolved into an upscale beach destination popular with European families and divers.
