phuket developing island
Phang Nga Bay is a miracle of nature, a special place created by master storytellers. Soaring pinnacles of limestone karsts and beach-rimmed mountainous islands set the scene for a Tolkien inspired folktale that draws many visitors and residents to fall effortlessly en rapture with the surreal beauty and timelessness of the region.
French impressionist Claude Monet was one of the first advocates of en plein air — the style of outdoor painting — and he would have been in his own personal heaven in Phang Nga Bay, where sunrise and sunset turn the surreal into fantasy. With over 100 islands in the bay of Phang Nga, fringed by Phuket, Phang Nga, Krabi and Trang provinces, the region is famed for breathtaking views and diverse natural ecosystems.
Many islands in the bay are waking to the tune of eco-tourism and now attracting this evolving niche market. Tourism trends show rapid growth in the independent travel market which includes those who desire a more personal and luxury experience with nature. Vacation villas are ever more popular in the Andaman region, with many island resorts catering to buyer demand.
