Editor’s Note

“While James Bond Island is the ‘star’ of the show, my personal favorite part of this tour is the visit to Ko Panyi. Watching a football match on their famous floating pitch and seeing how a community thrives in the middle of the ocean is a perspective-shifting experience you won’t find anywhere else.”


City Legends & Mysteries

The Guardian of the Bay: Local legend says that the limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay are actually the scales of a giant ancient dragon that fell into the sea. It is believed the dragon still sleeps beneath the emerald waters, protecting the islands from heavy storms, which is why the bay remains so calm and mystical even when the open sea is rough.
