The province of Phang-nga is located some 788 kilometres from Bangkok.
It covers an area of 4,170 square kilometres.
Phang-nga is a province with two characters - land and sea - and
packed with national parks that guard magnificent scenery with immensely
different attractions.
Most famous is Ao Phang-nga National Park, a geological wonder filled
with islets, sunken caverns and startling rock formations rising
sheer out of the sea. The bay is extremely sheltered ideal for expeditions
of sea canoes to explore the many fascinating caverns with their
own eco-systems.
Phang-nga's andaman coast offers parks of a different kind. The
island groups of Surin and Similan are renowned for their beautiful
unspoilt beaches and spectacular underwater scenery, attracting
divers from around the world. Khao Lak is a coastal park full of
birds, mammals and scenic waterfalls, with a number of hotel developments
after Tsunami disaster in December 2004.
