Phang Nga Bay

Phang Nga Bay lies on the Andaman coast of the Malay Peninsula. Steep limestone islands rise from its sheltered waters, their cliffs shaped by the slow wearing away of rock. Mangrove forests, estuaries and tidal mudflats line the bay’s low shores, while seagrass grows in shallow water. The islands and waterways form a striking landscape between the mainland and the larger island of Phuket to the southwest.
