Leaving the Island
Driving to Phang
Nga
Phang Nga is most famous for it’s
bay with vertical rocky mountains towering out of clam, green waters – along
with James Bond island and the water village of Koh Pannyi.
But
the land routes through this province are of exceptional beauty also, and
are well worth exploring in one’s own car. One can also have a great time
driving and visiting the water-bound attractions above alone, without
joining one of the mass bus-boat tours. It’s as easy as driving to Phang Nga
Bay Resort (see below), park the car and rent a boat for a couple of hours.
There are many free maps showing the roads into Phang Nga, or pick up a copy
of PHUKET Magazine and follow its maps. The route into Phang Nga is simple:
north leads to the bridge off Phuket. 12 kilometres north is a small town
and a major junction. Turn right. The routes are well sign posted. |
