Koh Panyee : This small island has a picturesque village, which rests precariously on small pilings and extents out across the water. It is inhabited chiefly by Muslim fisher folk, whose unique culture has existed, cut off from the mainland most modern amenities, for more than a hundred years. Souvenir shops and seafood restaurants cater to visitors.

Khao Ping Gan : The name means literally leaning mount. It is really a huge rock split in two; the smaller half has slid down and the remaining one appears now to be leaning. Though Kao Ping Gan is a very small island, Khao Tapoo or James Bond Island, is in a little bay of Khao Ping Gan where visiting boats pull up. Khao Tapoo means nail, and this shore less rock projects up from the sea as its name implies flat and wide at the top, and very narrow at waterline. It is a striking sight. And the island became more famous after the James Bond adventure.

Tham Lod Grotto : This cave in Takua Thung has beautiful stalagmites ans stalactites. The long tail boat can go through another side of the cave.

Koh Hong : Koh Hong means room, and entering this hollowed out island by boat is much like floating through a giant reception hall with two doors.

Panak Island : A cave with stag mites and stalactites, where a small stepped waterfall for regular descent adds to the beauty, is the island’s salient feature.

Khao Khien : The islet of writings is what the name means. Indeed, there are ancient depictions of animals and boats, which the Fine Arts Dept. has dated back no less than 3,000 years.
Low on the mountain walls just above the tide line of this shore less island, they were presumably drawn by voyagers long ago who took refuge there during storms. The island lies on the way to Koh Panyee. Also of interest in Phang Nga Bay National Park are the mangrove forests and swamps, cut by twisting channels, which line the mainland shores.
