We do many varied adventure trips around here. Hiking up to the many lookouts. Snorkelling with Black point sharks. Jumping off cliff platforms to deep water below, just to mention a few. This area is one of our highlights and should not be missed.

PHANG NGA:
North East and around 35 miles from Chalong this area is 225 square miles of breathtaking scenery with limestone cliffs rising up from the seabed as high as 1200ft.
The cliffs and islands comprise of many strange shapes. Some Islands have Hongs  (Thai for room) which is a spectacular area inside the Island covered in unusual vegetation and stalagmites. Some Hongs can only be accessed by kayak through tunnels. The sea flows through and creates a lagoon. Best to kayak at medium tide. This is great fun and a truly worthwhile experience. Many caves in this area to explore on foot or by  kayak also. Limited faciality in this area for dining out. Fresh seafood can be bought from the Gypsy fishermen as their longtail boats will come alongside the yacht.
