Went to James Bond Island - Phang Nga Bay which was so great to see and the massive leaning rocks. Then headed to Koh Panyi (Floating Muslim village) and walked around and went to a mosque 🕌 After this went to Suwan Khuha Cave - Monkey Cave where I got blessed by a monk and saw lots of monkeys Another great day

Recommend this day trip from Phuket! There will be a car to pick you up from the hotel, which is very convenient. Our tour guide is the kind Mr. Happy. He made a small introduction board and took good care of the group members. He also prepared small gifts for random people who asked questions and answers, and also took the initiative to take photos for us. It was a fulfilling day trip, and the lunch buffet was also delicious.

This was an amazing trip! Being a non-swimmer, I was quite hesitant and nervous at first to book an island boat tour. Finally, I booked the Hong island tour and was very lucky to have Ms Gift as my guide. She was very kind and helpful throughout the trip. As I was leaving my hotel pier’s floating platform , I slipped twice and was very nervous walking toward the boat. She noticed this and held my hand and walked me all the way to the boat. She was very observant and always making sure we were okay in the hot weather. It was little things like this that made me feel at ease. She took really nice photos and never rushed us. Thank you, Gift!
