About the trip

Outdoor & Adventure History & Culture Hands-on Workshop

This trip will leave you with a new perspective of tourism at Phang Nga Bay, especially when you see the sunrise, lighting up the limestone cliffs and island forests that surround the water. This stunning area includes sparkling caves, lagoons, coral reefs, and bird’s eye views that can only be reached by foot (it’s hot but well worth it!). The many fishing communities of the northern part of Phang Nga Bay are not only skilled at catching fish and crab, but they also have a deep and profound understanding of the sea that you’ll be able to learn about, too.
