Phuket, Thailand: Phang Nga Bay; things to do

Phang Nga Bay in Phuket

60 mi. NE of Phuket.

Hopelessly scenic Phang Nga Bay in the Andaman Sea has 160 rock islands and the water hovers at 75 degrees. An astonishing site and one of the most beautiful spots in Thailand, it is best seen by speedboat. The area is featured in the 1974 James Bond film, “The Man with the Golden Gun.”
