Photo Love/CnC Living Travel Log: Phang Nga Bay, James Bond Island and beautiful boat trips in Phuket, Thailand

November 14, 2011
We were only in Phuket for a short time, but the highlight was our boat trip to a few islands in the area. Β When you are in Phuket, you are inundated with different tour options, but the husband really wanted to be on the water. Β We booked our package with Nara Cruise the night before (seriously like 10 hours before) at a random stall in Patong. Β My husband picked it because he liked the look of the boat (more on that later) and it had seven different stops on the itinerary. He also liked that it started at about 9 am and came back about 7 pm (we already suffered getting up at dawn on vacations previously and it isn’t always worth it). Β The price was listed as 3200 baht, but the operator offered 1500 baht (we got it for 1400 baht/$50 at the end).Travel Tip: Always negotiate the tour price!Without further ado, here are the reasons I would recommend this trip for…
…relaxing on the boat

…traveling to James Bond Island in long boats and observing the sheer rock wall- where “Man with the Golden Gun” was filmed (oh the Sean Connery days!)

…kayaking through underground caves and among monkeys at Hong Island

    Beautiful, amazing photos! I love it when I have the opportunity to visit a place that’s s gorgeous, it takes my breath away. I think Thailand would be such a place – I’m really hoping to make it there next year in our way to/from India for my husband’s cousin’s wedding.
