A Phang Nga Bay tour in a speedboat with 20 other tourists.
If you’re planning a trip to Phuket, a Phang Nga Bay tour is a must-see attraction. But what kind of Phang Nga Bay tour to choose is a million-dollar question.
Phang Nga Bay is known for its stunning limestone cliffs, emerald-green waters, and hidden caves waiting to be explored. The bay is easily accessible from Phuket, and many tour companies offer day trips to the area.
