excursions in paradise

Phang Nga Bay is known for its spectacular rock formations, stunning natural beauty and unspoiled beaches. An especially stunning highlight of the Phang Nga Bay area is the "hongs" (like lagoons, means literally "room" in Thai) and caves. Private tours are conducted to bring guests closer to nature but away from main-stream tourist spots. Furthermore you may enjoy guided jungle trekking and mountain bike rides.

Khun Baow, Khun Run and Khun Man are ready to show you where the fun is!

Along the way-- keep your camera ready-- there are awesome sheer limestone cliffs similar to those found throughout Phang Nga Bay and the area is a natural habitat to monkeys and many bird species.

There are no shopping malls or supermarkets here but there are plenty of small convenience stores and souvenir shops, mostly lined up along the beach-front road.
