The Best Hotels and Resorts in Phang Nga Province

Neighboring provinces are (from north, clockwise) Ranong, Surat Thani, and Krabi. To the south is the Phuket Province, connected by a highway bridge.
The province is on the west side of the Malay Peninsula, and includes the many islands of the Phang Nga Bay.

The Ao Phang Nga (Phang Nga Bay) National Park was established in 1981 to protect the many islands. The Similan Islands and Surin Islands, two of Thailand's main diving destinations, are also part of Phang Nga Province.
