Own in Phuket, Live Near Paradise

Ask any local and they’ll tell you — Phang Nga Bay is the ultimate day trip from Phuket. Towering limestone cliffs, emerald-green waters, hidden lagoons, sea caves, and floating villages make it one of the most breathtaking natural wonders in all of Southeast Asia.

But for those who own property in Phuket, it’s not a once-in-a-lifetime adventure — it’s a lifestyle perk.

Living in Phuket means you can access Phang Nga Bay as often as you like. That’s one of the many reasons why owning a home here is about more than just property — it’s about everyday access to the extraordinary.

A Natural Wonderland Right on Your Doorstep

Phang Nga Bay is located between the mainland provinces of Phang Nga and Krabi, with easy access from Phuket’s east coast marinas, like Ao Po Grand Marina or Royal Phuket Marina. The entire bay is protected by Ao Phang Nga National Park, preserving its untouched beauty and ecological significance.

You’ll explore:

  • Towering karsts rising straight from the sea

  • Secret caves and hongs (collapsed cave lagoons)

  • Limestone islands with hidden beaches

  • Wildlife, mangroves, and crystal-clear shallows

Day Trip Options from Phuket

Phuket residents have several options when planning a day out in Phang Nga Bay:

Stop at the Floating Muslim Village

A highlight for many is visiting Koh Panyee, the floating Muslim village built on stilts at the base of a limestone cliff. It’s famous for its seafood restaurants, local crafts, and the floating football pitch built by village kids.
