It offers an excellent photo opportunity for the visitors thanks to its spectacular scenic beauty and fame.

Koh Panyi– This is a unique village that was created on silts with only a tiny area being on solid ground made out of limestone. It is an amazing to sight for the visitors to find numerous shops, houses, schools and health centers function effectively while remaining perched on stilts. The village gets crowded during noon with longtail boats bringing multiple tourists in. Reaching the village is an adventure in itself as the boat travels through the thick mangrove forests liberally interspaced with limestone pieces.

Samet Nangshe Viewpoint- This is a beautiful location atop a hill that can be reached by taking a 30 minute ride from Phuket. The panoramic view of the entire bay along with its beautiful stretch of islands is laid bare from the hill. The sight of the thick mangrove forest and lofty limestone cliffs are absolutely mesmerizing during the early hours of morning. Many tourists prefer to watch the sunrise from the hilltop as well and are often thrilled to find the Milky Way being visible on a clear and unclouded day.

Cave of Reclining Buddha- The Wat Suwan Kuha cave situated on a limestone cliff is definitely worth a visit, not only for the scenic beauty for also for the spectacular 15 meters long statue of the reclining Buddha housed with the huge cavernous space along with a number of other Buddha statues that remain erect.
