Phang Nga bay of Thailand was awesome. We explored caves that were only accessible at low tide, visited isolated mangrove at the other end of the cave and enjoyed the wonderful view of limestone cliffs all around Phang Nga. We swam at the beach, jumped off from the boat while enjoying the late afternoon breeze and sunset before going back to Phuket.

The highlight of the whole Phuket trip for me was the visit to James Bond Island. I’ve been wanting to see the famous Khao Ta Poo, which is rock formation with base so small, it looked like it was going to fall off in a few years of erosion. Apparently, one of the scenes James Bond 007 movie, the man with Golden Gun, was filmed here in 1974. Hence the name of the island.

Overall, it was tiring but certainly was a great family adventure. When else will I have the chance to explore dark caves by canoeing and walking with my parents and siblings?
