After the breathtaking sunrise, hop aboard a traditional longtail boat for a scenic ride through the stunning Phang Nga Bay National Park. As your boat cuts through the calm waters, you’ll be surrounded by dramatic limestone formations and lush greenery that seem to rise straight from the sea.

Here, you’ll have the chance to admire the towering Khao Ping Kan rock formation, an unmistakable natural landmark.
