About the Thailand flotilla
The Thailand flotilla runs from Phuket, Thailand’s largest island. The flotilla sails around Phang Nga Bay, a beautiful area with lush green scenery and sandy beaches. It’s a 10 night flotilla.
Phang Nga Bay, is also known as Ao Phang Nga National Park. It is a 400 square kilometer wonderland where towering limestone karst formations rise dramatically from the emerald green water. Imagine a landscape painted by a surrealist artist – sheer cliffs jut from the sea, some adorned with a fringe of emerald jungle clinging precariously to their slopes.
Dotting the bay are over 40 islands, some mere pinnacles of rock, others larger and boasting hidden lagoons, beaches, and even caves. One of the most famous is Khao Phing Kan, better known as James Bond Island, after its starring role in the movie The Man with the Golden Gun.
Exploring these hidden coves and lagoons reveals a secret world, teeming with life. Look out for playful monkeys swinging through the trees lining the cliffs, or bioluminescent plankton illuminating the water at night with an ethereal glow. Phang Nga Bay is a captivating journey into a landscape that feels untouched by time, a true gem waiting to be explored.
