- This is a look at a ship sponsored (purchased onboard a cruise ship) shore excursion in Phuket Thailand. The name of the tour was "Phang Nga Bay" and it was very good with several different parts. It is $76 per person US, 96 AU. The tour lasted about 8 or 9 hours.
It stopped at Wat Suwan Khuha Temple. Also known as the Cave Temple. It was pretty cool with a golden reclining Buddha and lots of monkeys around. Then we drove to the Phang Nga Bay Hotel and had a buffet lunch. It was very good with many different local dishes. Outside the hotel, we boarded Longtail Boats for our journey on the water. We boated to Khao Phing Kan (James Bond Island). Parts of "The Man With the Golden Gun" were filmed there. The tour does not stop at the island, which is very crowded. Next, we stopped at Ko Panyi. Ko Panyi is a fishing village in Phang Nga Province, notable for being built on stilts by Indonesian fishermen. We walked around there for a while and did some shopping. It has a lot of shopping. We then went back to the hotel we ate at and got back on the busses.
On the way back to the ship we stopped at the Si Supalak Orchid Cashew Nuts factory store. It was a store that sells cashew and other food items and souvenirs.
When we got back to the port, there were plenty of vendors selling the same things we saw on the tour, maybe less. Everyone bargains.
The real drawbacks of the tour were the hectic pace, the long bus ride (3 hours + round trip) and the forced stop at the cashew nut place. We would have rather stopped almost anywhere else. At least it wasn't a long stop.
We hope you enjoy the videos and your next cruise.

Hello! Thanks for sharing! I'm planning to book this shore excursion for my upcoming cruise! May I ask if there are ample toilet breaks along the way, or if the buses are equipped with toilets?
We don't recall if there was a bathroom on the bus. They had a wide variety of buses anyway and you might not be on the same bus as us. There were bathrooms at every stop and we made several stops along the tour. Thank you for your comments. Don't forget to subscribe.
Thank you so much!! Merry Christmas!!!

Hi thanks for your sharing. May I ask how long took the bus from the port to Phuket town if you remember. Thanks.
Thanks for your comments. I think it was close to 1 1/2 hours. There was a guide onboard who talked most of the time. It was interesting, but long. Don't forget to subscribe!
