Excursions to Phang Nga Bay

Hi Forum,

We’re planning a trip to Thailand for January 2027 and I’ve got some questions about visiting Phang Nga Bay:*

-I’ve read on this forum that it’s better to leave from the town of Phang Nga rather than Phuket, which makes sense, but I can’t spot any piers on Google Earth. Could someone tell me where they are? -Do hotels offer excursions that include transfers to the boat?

Thanks in advance for your replies. JauneSoleil

Hi

Done in December 2023.

Agencies handle transfers from hotels, of course.

Since Phuket is congested, the trip can take a while (I especially remember the return trip), but it’s nothing unbearable either

Hi Jaunesoleil,

I’m going in February and I’m thinking of doing this excursion from Koh Yao Noi. Actually, I didn’t want to go through Phuket. I’ll let you know how it goes afterward.

Hi Yuliya,

Okay, great, thanks in advance—I’ll wait for your reply. Have a good trip!

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your reply—we’ll avoid leaving from Phuket.

Happy travels!

Hi,

I visited the bay from the town of Phang Nga, but I had my own vehicle to get to the pier.

I think it’s possible to arrange the trip through your host, but you’d need to plan a little in advance.

The story of this excursion is here, step 11.

Hi Attila,

I just went through your Thailand travel journal—great presentation and a really engaging story. I haven’t finished reading it yet, but I’ll come back to it. Thanks for your hard work!

Happy travels!
