Khao Tapu is a single island in the sea that looks like a nail, hence the name Khao Tapu. To visit Koh Tapu, tourists can take a boat to see the beauty of Khao Tapu, but they can only see it from a distance. There is a viewpoint to accommodate tourists, but we cannot go up to the island. In the area near Khao Tapu, there is "Khao Phing Kan", which is two large, flat rocks leaning against each other. Tourists like to take pictures as souvenirs.

#VisitPhangNga Ao Phang Nga National Park, a popular tourist destination in Phang Nga Province, covers Takua Thung District, Koh Yao District, and Mueang Phang Nga District, Phang Nga Province. It is the second coastal national park in the country and was established as a national park on April 29, 1881. Visiting Ao Phang Nga National Park means taking a boat to see the scenery of sedimentary mountains and metamorphic rocks in a long line. There are limestone mountains that naturally protrude, creating some holes and caves. In addition, the land subsidence has caused the coastline to be concave and indented, becoming bays and islands that are beautiful and unique. The highlight of visiting Ao Phang Nga National Park is "Khao Tapu" or another name is "James Bond Island" because it was once a scene in a James Bond movie. It is called Khao Tapu because it is a large rock column in the middle of the sea. From a distance, it looks like a nail. Another place that you must not miss is Khao Phing Kan, which is made from two mountains that are close together from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. It was caused by a natural phenomenon that made it a mountain with special characteristics.

#OneDayTripTo3Provinces 🤍🌊 (Phuket, Phang Nga and Krabi) FunSeasideTravelWithLoveAndaman When you come to the sea, you have to make it worth it. This time, Brother Jeans took us out to sea #GoEverywhereAtOneTime 🤭🤩 Both Phuket - Krabi - Phang Nga, you can say that we covered everything, lol This trip left early in the morning, boarding the boat at around 8:30 AM. Let's start at Koh Hong (Krabi), the first highlight is that it's sooo beautiful, so beautiful and magnificent. For those who are adventurous, I'd like you to go to the viewpoint. It's a bit tiring, but the view is great when you get up there. Or if you like to chill, you can go on the nature trail (hiking) and then change into a bikini and jump into the sea. 💕 For lunch, we stopped at Koh Panyi (Phang Nga). The food is buffet style with many menus. Or if you like seafood, you can make an additional reservation. 😋 After we were full, we walked around the village for a bit before getting on the boat to continue our trip. Tham Lod Khao Thalu, this is awesome. Kayaking through the canyon is beautiful and very chill (we didn't have to paddle ourselves) 😍 Koh Tapu is another place that you have to take a picture with. No matter how beautiful it is, it's still as beautiful as it is here. Not far away is Khao Phing Kan. ✨ End the trip with Koh Naka Noi. There is also a cafe on this island. Order a drink, sit back, relax, and look at the sky and the sea. The atmosphere before the sun sets is so awesome. 💕 ——————————————- #loveandaman #phuket #journeycalls #เที่ยวพะเยา

#Where to go this summer? Ao Phang Nga National Park, Phang Nga Province This is a place we really like. No matter how many times we come here, we never get tired of taking a boat ride to see the many limestone mountains around. We got to take a boat ride on God Of Andaman, a large 2-story boat. For those who like a low-life and like to relax, I highly recommend it. We got to see beautiful views and take lots of pictures because the boat has a lot of space. There is food and drinks provided all the time. It was a worthwhile trip that we wanted to tell others about.

Ao Phang Nga National Park covers the area of ​​Takua Thung District, Mueang District, Koh Yao District, Phang Nga Province. It is a coastal national park with beautiful scenery, coastline and scenery above the water. It is rich in mangrove forests. It consists of approximately 40 islands to the east of Phuket Island and beautiful natural features such as Khao Phing Kan, Khao Tapu, Tham Lod, and beautiful sandy beaches. Ao Phang Nga National Park covers an area of ​​approximately 250,000 rai or 400 square kilometers. Koh Hong It is a limestone mountain with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites that look like many rooms, arranged in rows. There are many species of plants and wildlife. You can go in to see the scenery by parking your boat in front of the island and using a canoe to see inside the cave and around the island, which has its own unique beauty. Koh Talu Nok It is a limestone mountain with Tham Talu, similar to Tham Lod Yai but smaller. Boats can pass through, similar to Tham Lod Yai, and it is one of the most popular canoeing spots in Phang Nga Bay. Khao Tapu? Khao Phing Kan This is a spot where every boat stops for tourists to stop and take pictures. Known to foreigners because it was a scene in the James Bond movie Tham Lod is a large cave, about 50 meters long, that boats can pass through. Inside the cave, there are beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. During the journey to Tham Lod, you will pass through one of the most fertile mangrove forests in Thailand. Koh Phanak is an island larger than Koh Hong, located on the shipping route from Phuket to Phang Nga. It consists of beautiful caves such as Bat Cave, Kong Kang Cave, Ice Cream Cave, and Pin Cave, which is an inland sea. To enter the inland sea, you must use a sea canoe only.

Khao Phing Kan is a small island in the mouth of Phang Nga Bay. It is smaller than Koh Panyi. Khao Phing Kan is a mountain with a special characteristic that is different from any other mountain. It is two mountains attached to each other in a straight line from the top to the foot of the mountain. People who have had the opportunity to visit Khao Phing Kan all assume that in the past, it was probably one mountain, but was struck by lightning or thunderbolts delicately, separating the mountain into two mountains that were attached or leaning together. Or it may have been caused by some natural phenomenon that caused the mountain to crack or split into two parts that looked like a sharp object cut in a straight line from the top to the foot of the mountain. But they were not separated, but were left attached together, so they are called Khao Phing Kan. Khao Tapu is a small rock formation located on the northern side in the bay of Koh Khao Phing Kan, southwest of Ao Phang Nga National Park in Tambon Kalai, Amphoe Takua Thung, Phang Nga Province. It is about 15 kilometers from the park office along the Koh Panyi Canal. Koh Tapu is a single island with a bulging upper part and a narrowing at the base like the eyes of a crab. Koh Tapu can be viewed from a distance from a boat or from the sandbar of Koh Khao Phing Kan. It is not possible to go up to the island.

Phang Nga Bay, visit the cave in the middle of the sea in Phang Nga Bay, kayak to see ancient paintings, pray to the sacred, enjoy the beautiful scenery and buy souvenirs at Khao Tapu. There are tourist boats leaving from Phuket. The price is not expensive. If interested, please ask.

#kohtapu or Koh Tapu is a small rocky island. Located on the northern side in the cove of Koh Khao Phing Kan. Southwest of Ao Phang Nga National Park in Kalai Sub-district, Takua Thung District, Phang Nga Province, far from the park office. Along the canal Koh Panyee for a distance of about 15 kilometers. Koh Tapu looks like a single island. The upper part is protruding and constricted at the base like Pu's eye (this kind of island has a geological term called Koh Hin Doong). or from the shoal of Khao Phing Kan Island Unable to go on the island in one of places in Thailand that is very beautiful.

A tour in Phang Nga Bay will be incomplete without canoeing at Talu Island. The tour operators, who bring tourists on a long tail boat, usually halt in this place. Only two passengers were allowed on a canoe. The canoe was paddled beneath a natural limestone cave, called Talu Caves. The paddle operator was very friendly and can speak English. It was a nice experience to went on a canoe and pass via caves while our operator showed us some of the limestones that have natural shapes and took photos for us. If you like adventures you must try island hopping in Phang Nga Bay and choose a program like this. You can book from different tour operators that can be search online. #beachlife #canoeing #island #islandhopping #cave #adventure #gooutside

If there is only one Phuket excursion you can do, Phang Nga Bay has to be it! It's majestic beauty is just wonderful! For me it was one of the most magnificent place I visited in Thailand! Phang Nga Bay is home to approximately 40 small islands that come straight out of the sea. The area is full of lagoons, caves and mangroves. The bay is about 20 km north of Phuket Island and 40 km from the pier, where you will get in a boat. I took a speedboat day trip to 4 islands including the James Bond one. This island was in the James Bond movie, The Man with the Golden Gun (1974). Visiting Phang Nga Bay was such an unforgettable experience for me and I would love to go there again! #beachlife

Koh Tapu, also known as Koh Tapu, Khao Tapu, is located in the sea outside the southwest of Phang Nga National Park, about 15 kilometers away. It became more famous because it was used to shoot the James Bond 007 movie, so many people called it Khao James Bond. Khao Tapu was originally part of the island. Later, it was eroded by the waves, cutting it off, leaving it as a high rock island. The base is narrow and the upper part is larger, looking like a nail's eye, so it is called Khao Tapu. #WinterSeasideTravel #NationalParkTravel

Another memorable journey We traveled from Phuket Pier. Along the way, we saw a lot of nature and the way of life of the locals on the wide sea. It was the first time we visited Khao Tapu or Khao Tapu - Khao Phing Kan in Phang Nga Bay. Khao Tapu is a limestone island standing alone in the middle of the sea. Including Khao Phing Kan, which is two mountains attached together. In the middle is a gap that looks like a cave. It is very beautiful and unusual. Normally, when there is no contagious disease, this island is considered a famous island that brings both Thai and foreign tourists here to see the beauty of this island. #The body needs the sea

Address - Phang Nga Bay, Thailand (Via Speedboat) Highlights - Famous landmark. Like it’s name shot James Bond movie! National Park! Beautiful scenic spot. Rating - 5/5 To get there, usually people will either sign up for half-day tour or full-day tour but mostly those tours will be coming to this island as it is one of the most popular attractions. The island is big and you can feel free to walk around and capture pictures. Near to the end of the beach, you can also see some stalls selling souvenirs. I would say before getting back to your boat, you can be able to spot washroom so you don’t have to worry if you are in need to use the toilet. #travelinspiration#scenicspotguide#bestislandtraveltowns#culturalattractions#nationalpark

#MissingTheForest #OurHeartIsAtTheSea Panak Island Mangrove Forest @ Phang Nga When we visited Phang Nga Bay, we stopped by Panak Island by kayaking to see the mangrove forest. I have to say that there was a guy who could paddle for us. We just sat and enjoyed the beautiful view. It was really beautiful. The mangrove forest is a winding path like a road. This path will take us to Tham Lod. But I have to say that the mangrove forest here is really beautiful. The water is crystal clear. I couldn't resist going down and climbing to take some cool pictures first. #shallwego

Let's go to the black sand beach. Thailand also has it. "Nang Thong Beach", Phang Nga Province 🏖 Another unseen place in Phang Nga Province that I would like to recommend. This is a black sand beach. But the sand is not black all over the beach. But it is enough to impress us. Let me tell you that it is very exciting. Especially in the evening before the sun sets, it is very beautiful. Location📍 Located at Nang Thong Beach, Khao Lak, Phang Nga Province Or follow the map by searching for "Nang Thong Beach". This black sand beach is behind the Nang Thong Beach sign. Everyone who passes by here, don't forget to stop by and visit. #Visit #Phang Nga #uneenthailand #Travel review #Phang Nga review #Where to go this summer#Secret location#Southern team#Our hearts are at the sea

Newly opened Kapong Cafe in the mist, nature lovers must love it The charm of the shop is the atmosphere surrounded by nature, mountains, trees. It is a small Kapong cafe but full of cuteness, minimalism, and warmth. There is a chill-out corner with a menu of your favorite drinks and delicious desserts that the shop makes itself. All homemade, created with love #SouthernTeam

Ao Phang Nga National Park An unseen tourist attraction in Phang Nga Province that you shouldn't miss. Because no matter how many times I've been there, I've always been impressed. Whether it's the caves, stalactites, stalagmites, emerald lagoons Limestone cliffs that have shapes that fit our imagination and vision Beautiful places like the ones we went to are Koh Phanak, Tham Kaew, Koh Tapu, Koh Thalu, Tham Lod, Koh Hong, Koh Panyi, Koh Lawa The price for a boat that can accommodate more than 10 people starts at 1500-4000 baht. It depends on where we're going. #SouthernTeam

... Khao Tapu (Ao Phang Nga National Park) is one of the destinations that I would like to visit once in my life. I intend to see the place with my own eyes. Khao Tapu is a small rocky island that looks like the eye of a crab. You can see its beauty and take pictures from Khao Phing Kan Island. ...In addition to seeing Khao Tapu, you can also see the beauty of Khao Phing Kan. It is very strangely beautiful. The cracks in the mountain are quite smooth, like they were cut by a knife. It is another strange natural phenomenon. There are only assumptions and no one knows the truth. ...You have to take a boat to get there. I chose to charter a boat from the Customs Pier because I wanted privacy. It was convenient because I only stopped at Khao Phing Kan and Koh Panyi. #MissingNature

Chartered a boat to another destination, Tham Lod. We had to pay an additional 300 baht per person for a canoe. We got a boat and a tour guide. Keep your head and stomach in check because at some points you have to lie down to pass through the cave. It was exciting and funny because of the tension. The stalactites were close to your face, making you nervous all the time. Passing through so often that your neck got sore. In addition, you also got to admire the beauty of other islands and mangrove forests. You got to see cute snails wriggling around. I fell in love with nature over and over again. A trip by Jai Dee To Jai. #MissingNature

Phang Nga Bay is a popular tourist destination for both Thai and foreign tourists. No matter how many times you visit, you will never get bored. The atmosphere while traveling by long-tail boat to various points, such as Koh Tapu, Khao Phing Kan, the floating village, and Tham Lod, the boat route invites you to take beautiful photos along the way. The important stop is at Koh Panyi Village, where there are many souvenir shops. You can walk around the village. There is a floating football field and a restaurant, but it is a restaurant that charges per head, not a single dish. It is suitable for group tours. If you want to eat a single dish, if you travel with 2 or more people, I recommend trying the restaurants in this area. They serve fresh seafood. The restaurant that I tried was clean, with good service and clean bathrooms. I recommend a restaurant called Panyi Mutiara, which is on the left side of the village. After eating, I recommend traveling by boat to Tham Lod, canoeing through the cave to see the beautiful stalactites inside the cave. #MissingNature

Tham Pin Island is an island that the boatman recommended to go to. He said that the lagoon is very colorful. It is called Tham Pin Island because if we come during low water, we will have to climb up to the roof of the boat to climb up to this island. If the water level is just right, we are lucky. We do not have to struggle. We walk through a tunnel-like passage. It is not very deep. We can only see light at the end of the tunnel. Our eyes are as wide as our mouths. The colors are very beautiful. At the entrance of the tunnel, there are stalactites and stalagmites to match this wonder. It is a trip for the heart that is very good for the heart. #MissingNature

Explore Phang Nga Bay, see beautiful caves such as Pin Cave, Talu Cave, Lod Cave, and unseen places such as Koh Tapu, a famous tourist attraction. We have been there twice and still love the wow factor of nature. The boat is quite large and can seat almost 10 people. The price depends on where we are going, but the price is around 1500-4000 baht. And what you shouldn't miss is kayaking, lying down to go through the wow points. It's so much fun. #Where to go this summer

Moken Village, Surin Islands, Phang Nga Province Another village that is interesting for tourists who visit the Surin Islands, which have many bays But when you arrive, you must stop by Ao Bon Which is the location of the Moken Village To experience the way of life of the Andaman Sea Gypsies An ethnic group with a unique way of life and culture Living together with the sea That anyone who visits often falls in love with this place The simple life on the island Most of the occupations are fishing But when the village has recently become known to tourists So there are souvenirs made in the style of the sea people to generate additional income While walking around the village, you will receive the sincere smiles of the children in the village.

This park maintains its natural beauty perfectly, whether it is the island, cave, limestone mountain or sea water. It is a place that foreigners know and like to visit here. Each spot is very Unseen and Wow. What we like the most is the climbing cave at Koh Phanak, where you can go through the fish belly tunnel to the Blue Lagoon. It is extremely beautiful. #phangngabay #Phangngabay #KohPhanak #unseenphangnga #seatravel
