Description

Bond and Beyond tour to Phang Nga bay and Koh Yao

The original Early Bird Phang Nga bay speedboat tour

This tour balances taking you to all the popular sights, along with some that are less visited. You never feel like you are being herded.

There are lots of cheap James Bond Island tours out there but most are tourist traps. This is a better quality tour that keeps passenger numbers low and avoids the crowds.
