Phuket & the Andaman Sea

Phang Nga’s limestone towers and the Similans, from the biggest charter base in Asia.

21 places on the chart: 13 islands, 3 anchorages and bays and 5 beaches.

Why the fleet comes here

Ko Phi Phi: Maya Bay and the anchorage in Ton Sai
Ko Tapu: James Bond Island, in Phang Nga Bay
Railay: Cut off from the mainland by cliffs, so everyone arrives by boat
Similan Islands: Granite boulders and the clearest water in the Andaman Sea
Phang Nga Bay: Limestone towers standing straight out of flat water, with hongs inside them
Phuket: The largest charter base in Asia, and the Phuket King’s Cup Regatta in December
Maya Bay: Closed to boats for four years to let the reef recover; now day-visit only
Ko Yao Noi: In the middle of Phang Nga Bay, and still quiet
