Phang Nga Bay

James Bond Island

W o w ! More than I could have dreamed of. At last, I was making the journey towards the beautiful Islands they call Phang Nga Bay.

Four of us clubbed together to buy a taxi ride for the day. We thought the taxi driver would just drop us off and wait for us, little did we know, our 54$ each, was buying us a 2 hour journey return, a private boat ride, lunch on a private Island and a canoe boat rip meandering through natural curves and arches through the mountainous scenery. We were very fortunate our ship was docked over night for 2 nights, which allowed us the luxury of travelling a distance from the ship.

Taken there by our taxi driver Nam and his wife Fa.

The long boat waiting for is on the dockside after a 2 hour taxi journey through Phucket and then into the mainland.

Our personal driver had organised this amazing boat, which the four of, Driver, his wife and of course the guy steering the boat, just us, we all got in and made our passed idyllic Islands, amazing scenery and dreamy sights only ever seen before in holiday brochures.  I had to pinch myself, that I had reached my dream bucket list destination.

The hoards of tourists filled larger cruise style boats, and all docked on one of the Islands. We felt privileged to avoid all of the crowds, as we had our own personal guide in Fa, the drivers wife.

After our journey meandering through the tiny picturesque Islands by boat, we finally docked at a Gypsy village, which was build on Stilts. Awaiting us, was the most amazing home cooked meal. We ate this meal and enjoyed every mouthful, savoring the sights around us of only sea and distant mountains and Island. a truly unforgettable experience I don’t think I will ever forget.
