JUNE BAHTRA
THE TRADITIONAL PHANG NGA BAY
THE TRADITIONAL PHANG NGA BAY
Few kilometers away from Phuket, Phang Nga Bay is best known as the location for the James
Bond movie "The Man with the golden gun". The area is quite scenic with jungle
covered limestone karsts rising up out of the sea in all sort of weird shapes. Within the
krasts are the "hongs" or caves scattered amongst the 400 islands of the Bay, live
"The Chaoley" the Muslim Sea Gypsies with their unique way of life.
Our two traditional junks "June Bahtra" sail daily from Phuket to the Gypsi
Village on a Magical Cruise across Phang Nga Bay.
