Arrival for the trip out to the Limestone Cliffs
This was our starting point for the day trip up to the limestone towers and spires in Phang Nga Bay. These towers starred in the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun. Theirfame made them first choice of the day trippers from Phuket. Some rise sheer out of the sea, others have low lying land, beaches and villages. A narrow boat takes you past island honeycombed with caves through tunnels hollowed out by the tides. The more intrepid can take an escorted canoe trip to discover hidden lagoons, inaccessible by any other means. The first two pics will show us boarding the boat about 10 am with high Tide, and the next pic is returning from the day tour at about 4 pm. Now that is a big tide. It was also a full moon night which meant the tide is the highest. So getting in the caves depends what time you arrive at the caves. The tour boats have a complete staff to paddle your canoe with flash light strapped to there heads like the old coalminers, and they serve you lunch traveling back. The side view of the tour boat has a banner with its web site. www.seacavecanoe.com so you can check it out.
