Phang Nga Bay’s spectacular limestone scenery has been an inspiration of film makers, writers and romantics for decades. Dozens of picturesque islands rise up from the Andaman Sea, their tree-clad cliffs casting a rainbow of contrast to the bay’s sparkling azure sea.
There is no finer way to experience this remarkable scene than from the deck of the June Bahtra, a traditional junk-rigged schooner. Recline on comfortable cushions below the boat’s striking red sails as the views of the archipelago from Phuket to Phang Nga unfold before you.
As the boat glides gracefully across the water, a spectacle of islands towering above the sea offers a striking display of green and mottled limestone colour. Later, you’ll stop at a deserted white sand beach for a secluded swim in the refreshing clear waters.
You’ll take a ride on a long tail boat to visit caves and mangroves, the entire area alive with birdsong and monkey chatter. At James Bond Island, admire views of the iconic rock formation jutting out of the bay.
Back onboard, enjoy a delicious buffet lunch, including freshly caught fish and seafood. After a secluded swim, just sit back and savour this coastal scenery a bit longer - and the romance of the open sea on board this unique sailing vessel.
