Phang-nga
The province of Phang-nga is located some 788 kilometres from Bangkok. It covers an area of 4,170 square kilometres.
Phang-nga is a province with two characters - land and sea - and packed with national parks that guard magnificent scenery with immensely different attractions.
Most famous is Ao Phang-nga National Park, a geological wonder filled with islets, sunken caverns and startling rock formations rising sheer out of the sea. The bay is extremely sheltered ideal for expeditions of sea canoes to explore the many fascinating caverns with their own eco-systems.
Phang-nga's andaman coast offers parks of a different kind. The island groups of Surin and Similan are renowned for their beautiful unspoilt beaches and spectacular underwater scenery, attracting divers from around the world. Khao Lak is a coastal park full of birds, mammals and scenic waterfalls, with a number of hotel developments after Tsunami disaster in December 2004.
Thailand
It’s known as ‘the Land of Smiles’ for good reason – the wonderful Thai people know how to slow down and enjoy life, and it’s part of their culture to pass on their infectious smiles to everyone they meet. It is not hard to smile though when you’re enjoying the warm tropical climate in one of the most astonishingly beautiful places on earth - emerald green seas, pristine beaches, stunning sunsets, sheer limestone cliffs, jaw-dropping sea life and jungles bursting with flora and fauna.
Thailand is a country that provides that feeling that you’ve escaped to an exotic land where language, religion, food and the way of life are all completely new and totally exciting. Buddhism is the religion of 90% of Thais, and is intertwined with the Thai way of life. The smells and tastes of delicious Thai food follows you from the street stalls in Bangkok to the beach side restaurants overlooking the sea, and you never grow tired of it. Elephants, monkeys, massive palm trees, boat taxis, pineapple fruit shakes, beach bbqs and Thai massage are all elements of the experience in Thailand that make each moment so enjoyable. In a world that is changing so fast, Thailand is a beautiful reminder of a place where simple living can still be the key to happiness.
