If submarine forest satisfied you enough, it
is time heading to the green and lush forests on
land which Phang Nga also has to offer. The
mangrove forests and forested mountains are the
best places for adventurous activities like
canoeing, trekking, and elephant riding. By these
ways, you can get closer to admire the fertility
of floras and faunas of Phang Nga.
- Canoeing: Paddling a canoe boat in
the mangrove forest, through caves and Hong or
lagoon is a kind of remarkable experience; it
is also the best way for observing the
splendors of rock face and the hidden caves
that are impossible by other boats. You will
feel like escaping into another realm,
enveloped by the lavishly green trees and
towering limestone cliffs riddled with caves
housing the marvelous stalactites and
stalagmites. Hong Island, Panak Island, and
Talu Island offer you the opportunity to
paddle through. However, it is not permitted
to paddle into by yourselves because it may be
dangerous; there will be a staff accompanying
you. There are canoeing services at Tha Dan
pier for paddling in Phang Nga Bay.
