Phangnga
The town of Phangnga lies about 800 km (497 mi.) south of Bangkok on the Malay Peninsula on the river of the same name, which comes down from mountains ranging in height up to 1000 m (3282 ft). The landscape around the Bay of Bengal is full of
surprises: white mountain peaks stand out from the intensive greenery of the jungle, pretty villages cling to the mountain slopes, and a boat trip through the bays of Phangnga and Ao Luk, the northern parts of the large bay of Phuket, conveys one of the most marvelous natural experiences imaginable.
