Discover the hidden treasures in Phuket's, Andaman Sea and Phang Nga Bay. Plot a course to the many islands in Phang Nga Bay. Visit sea caves and islands with sheer cliffs in the calmest of waters. Phang Nga Bay has a wonderful advantage over many other cruising grounds because sailors are able to visit the beautiful surrounds year round with anchors for both the North East Monsoon and the South West Monsoon Seasons. Other places of interest in the Phang Nga Bay area include Krabi with nearby Railay Beach and the Chicken Islands name for the rock formations on the Southern Island. Chicken Islands are good for snorkelling in the shallow waters. Further south you will come across Phi Phi Islands with a great reef at the north eastern side of Phi Phi Don.
