Phang Nga: Caves, Waterfalls, Trekking, and Rafting
Rich in Things to Do and See
Major By: Anongnat Sartpisut

It may not be the biggest city in Thailand, but Phang Nga Town, a former tin-mining centre offers a rich variety of things to do and see. I'd love to give a quick rundown on the attractions of the town and its surroundings.
Phang Nga has the longest stretch of beaches in Thailand, running from Kuraburi District south to the southernmost tip of the province - about 40 kilometres.

If you are coming from Phuket, as many people do, you can stop at Haad Khao Pi Lai, a long, pristine beach in Khok Kloi District. This is also a good fishing spot, though you have to be careful as the sea is deep and shelves steeply, so it is not so good for inexperienced swimmers. Other well-known stretches of sand in the area are Bang Sak, Nang Tong and Bang Niang beaches, all in the Khao Lak area.

Cave:
There are many limestone caves scattered around Phang Nga Town and the various islands in the province. One of these is Samnaksong Tham Tapan, which is decorated with depictions from Buddhism. Here you can walk through the Dragon Cave, which is about 100 metres long and represents "Hell", with depictions of punishments inflicted on people who have lived an immoral life. The "Heaven" section is an 800-metre-long natural cave with running water, stalactites and stalagmites. Outside are stairs leading up to the "Hall of Heaven". At the top are stunning views of the province.

Phuang Chang (Elephant Belly) Cave is part of Khao Hua Chang (Elephant Head Hill), which is a symbol of Phang Nga. A stream flows through it and you can take a boat ride past stalactites and stalagmites that glitter when light hits them.
Other caves around Phang Nga Town are Suwan Khu Ha Cave and Reusi Cave. By the coast and on the province's islands you can find Lod Yai Cave and Nak Cave.
