2005 Phang Nga Bay

Phang Nga Bay is somewhere around 90Km away from Phuket Town, northeast. I joined the local tour agent to explore this bay on my 2nd day in Phuket. The charge is around 900baht. We spent a half-day trip there with wonderful cave views, relax canoeing & fishing village views.

We depart from Phuket town around 11:45am & our first stop is Monkey cave, or Wat Suwankuha. This cave already been here few hundred years. As what it named, that's some "friendly" monkeys waiting outside the cave to welcome your arrival. ... (more)
