The province of Phang-nga is located some 788
kilometres from Bangkok. It covers an area of 4,170
square kilometres. The neighboring provinces are Ranong,
Surat Thani and Krabi. To the south is the Phuket
province, but without land boundary to Phang Nga.
Phang-nga is a province with two characters - land and
sea - and packed with national parks that guard
magnificent scenery with immensely different
attractions. Most famous is Ao Phang-nga National Park,
a geological wonder filled with islets, sunken caverns
and startling rock formations rising sheer out of the
sea. The bay is extremely sheltered ideal for
expeditions of sea canoes to explore the many
fascinating caverns with their own eco-systems.
Phang-nga's andaman coast offers parks of a different
kind. The island groups of Surin and Similan are
renowned for their beautiful unspoilt beaches and
spectacular underwater scenery, attracting divers from
around the world. Khao Lak is a coastal park full of
birds, mammals and scenic waterfalls, with a number of
hotel developments after Tsunami disaster in December
2004. |
