Phang Nga Bay
Long tail boat in Phang Nga Bay.
We set off from Sam Chong.
Getting speed up through the mangroves.
Typical Phang Nga Bay scenery in the distance.
We were able to pass slowly through the tunnel - where rock had been eroded by the sea to form a cave under the gigantic mountainous rocks.
Part 2 of 4 sections of the day Monday 27th September.
I guess all the sea and islands to the north of the larger islands would be thought of as Phang Nga Bay.

After lunch Mam sorted out a boat and boatman for our trip.
We all much prefer the independence of making our own arrangements than piling into a bigger boat with lots of other people with a time schedule.
We hired the boat and man for as long as we needed it and to go where we asked to go.

Simon sits at the front of the boat.
Shove over - that's my spot!
Or at least it was in 2007.
That had been a very meaningful trip on Jamie's birthday.
It was at a time when I was unsure about the future - with treatment for cancer due to start as soon as I got home.
Still wearing that hat!

Now scroll down to see our trips to 2 islands in Phang Nga Bay - first Koh Panyee and to James Bond Island.
