Phang Nga Bay

So Phang Nga Bay ("Pang Na") is pretty awesome. We visited four islands on our tour there. First was Panak Island, where you canoe through meter-high tunnels (essentially lying down) into an incredible lagoon filled with mangroves and surrounded by 200 meter-high sheer cliffs that still amazingly support trees! Next was Hong Island (hongs are the actual rocks that seemingly shoot out of the water) - same deal here, just more of it. Third was "James Bond Island" (of Man with the Golden Gun fame) - which is unfortunately overrun with tourists (what's new?) but still pretty beautiful. The name of the fourth escapes me, but it's mainly just for swimming or canoeing on your own - we chose the latter.
