Spectacular limestone islands are scattered throughout Phang Nga Bay, a short boat ride from Phuket. Koh Ping-gan, also known as James Bond Island, is one of the most striking islands and features a dramatic rock pinnacle piercing the water. On nearby Ko Pannyi Island (Sea Gypsy Island), there's a village built on stilts, perched over the water with a dramatic monolith hovering behind.

This was not a place on the 3 temples tour! A very different temple experience. Free entry but it's always nice to make a donation. You enter the complex through a huge dragon walking the length of its body before exiting into Buddist hell. Lots of graphic statues of sinners being dealt with by demons in a not so peaceful manner! Our 1 year old was too young to be freaked out but i'd say children over 2 may be a little scared for life. We found the place enlightening and thoroughly worth a visit.

We were very glad our tour stopped here for lunch and a browse. Reading some of the reviews we were apprehensive however, we were treated to a yummy lunch and given little extras as we are veggie. We then went for a browse. The mosque is beautiful, the shops were quaint and it's generally a great place to see how other people live. We are so spoilt in the UK. These people live a simple life, fish for their food and do what they need to do to get by. We got some right bargains on some t-shirts and they don't mind a haggle. Yes there is a smell but I'm sorry not everyone has 5* plumbing! Really interesting place, do not miss if you want to see and experience other cultures and ways of life.
