Another early-ish start and we were all off on our tour to Pang Nga Bay. We took a speed boat out, which was a great way to to do it as it was so much quicker than the big slow boats.
We arrived at James Bond Island first and had an hour to look around the island, at the “rock” and the cave. Then we took off again and made our way to Koh Panyi, a muslim village on stilts.
We had a fantastic lunch at the restaurant there over the water and then had time to explore through t he village and look at there stalls – everything the same, same, not different. It was great to see how these people live.
Back on the the boat and to Hong Island, where we met our “canoes”. There was two of us to one canoe, with our “paddler”. They took us through the caves and into a beautful, tranquil inlet, or, as they called it “honeymoon room”, and pointed out many rock formations along the way. We all had a good laugh with our boys, especially Sue and Jeanette with “Zuzu” who wanted to have “honeymoon” with them!!! Next, and last stop, was Naka Island, where we hired deck chairs and relaxed on the beach with a couple of beers and a lovely swim, before our short trip back to the pier. A very enjoyable, and full, day was had by all.
For our last dinner we head up the hill towards Kamala to “Pan Yaah” restaurant, overlooking the whole of Patong Beach. We had a lovely meal. Greg had the biggest prawns you could ever see (as big as a lobster).
Then we got the tuk tuk back to Bangla Road and all made our way spearately back down the beach road (with quite a few stops along the way at the shops) to Porn’s bar for a final drink together.
