Phang Nga
Phang Nga, a hidden gem in southern Thailand, is a paradise of towering limestone cliffs, emerald-green waters, and untouched beaches. Often overshadowed by its famous neighbors, Phuket and Krabi, this province offers a more tranquil and authentic experience for travelers seeking adventure and natural beauty. Phang Nga is best known for its breathtaking bay, home to James Bond Island, made famous by the 1974 film The Man with the Golden Gun. The Ao Phang Nga National Park is a must-visit, featuring mangrove forests, hidden caves, and dramatic karst formations.

Phang Nga is a paradise not only for nature lovers but also for food enthusiasts. With its coastal location, the province offers some of the freshest seafood in Thailand. Grilled fish, giant prawns, squid, and crab are often served with spicy seafood dipping sauce and fragrant herbs. Don’t miss Pla Tod Kamin—crispy fried fish with turmeric, a southern Thai specialty packed with flavor.

Local markets and small eateries serve up rich and spicy southern Thai dishes like Gaeng Som Pla (a sour, spicy fish curry), Kua Kling (dry curry minced meat), and Tom Som (sour tamarind soup with seafood). These dishes are known for their bold use of chilies, garlic, and herbs.

You’ll also find delicious street food like roti with condensed milk, grilled satay skewers, and kanom jeen—cold rice noodles served with a choice of curry and fresh vegetables.

For dessert, try tub tim krob (crispy water chestnuts in coconut milk) or sticky rice with mango, often served with a seaside view.

Eating in Phang Nga is a sensory journey through the tastes of the sea, the spice of the south, and the warmth of Thai hospitality.
