"Ko Phi Phi"
The Phi Phi islands are on off the coast of western Thailand, and have been occupied since the 1940’s by Muslim fisherman. Stunningly beautiful they are popular with tourists, and provided the backdrop for the film “The Beach”. Devastated by the 2004 tsunami reconstruction has quickly put the islands economy back on track
"Phang Nga Bay"
Phang Nga Bay in southern Thailand, and part of the Ao Phang Nga National Park is located near Phuket. Spanning an area of of more than 400km2 in area, the water is shallow. 10,000 years ago it was possible to cross the bay area by foot when the water was lower. Some 42 islands are in the bay, containing some 28 species of mangrove. There are some archaeological sites which have painting from over 1000 years ago.
The picture above shows James Bond Island, a needle formed limestone rock in the sea, which featured in the movie The Man with the Golden Gun.
Known as a tropical paradise, Thailand has it all. Close to Phuket, Phang Nga Bay is set of tropical islands in shallow water. Not long ago, just some 10,000 years ago, it was still possible to walk here.
Off the west-coast the Phi Phi islands offer a little bit of paradise in the Andaman sea.
Beautiful! really looks like paradise.
