Best known for its gravity-defying limestone karst formations and its crystal-clear waters, Ao Phang Nga National Park encompasses roughly 155 square miles of the Andaman Sea in southern Thailand. There are more than 40 islands in the park, but the most famous is Khao Phing Kan, which appeared in the 1974 James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun. Most visitors find that the best way to explore the park is by canoe or kayak; 1-day tours are the most popular, but some companies also offer multi-day trips that include camping on the islands.
