Day 3 Phang Nga Bay

Early start this morning to watch sunrise over the islands in Phang Nga Bay from a viewing platform. Although the cloud shaded the sun it was still incredible watching dawn break over the bay, particularly as we were the only ones there (no one else was getting up at 6am !!) .
Then on to an early morning long-tail boat trip around some of the islands which took us under some of the overhangs at the base of the islands, scary having millions of tons of rock overhead with no visible support. There was also a chance to climb up the side of one of the islands into some caves (not for the faint hearted).

Had lunch at the viewpoint cafe just above our room - more stunning views.
Whilst we were having dinner in the outdoor restaurant at the hotel a thunder storm broke over the bay lighting up the islands in the dark - it was surreal - all went well til the storm suddenly came right over the hotel & all the guests rushed for cover food & drinks in hand !!

A great day with fantastic and changing views of the island as the weather came in.Read more
