We create similar taking drives off Phuket Thailand island, over the Phuket Thailand-over-sarasin-bridge">Sarasin Bridge together with into Phuket Thailand-over-sarasin-bridge">Phang Nga Province. Phuket Thailand is the biggest isle inwards Thailand, but Phang Nga is 8 times bigger than Phuket Thailand, thence nosotros are even thence finding novel places to see non far from home. Phang Nga has enough of good known places similar Phuket Thailand-over-sarasin-bridge">Khao Lak, Phuket Thailand-over-sarasin-bridge">James Bond Island, Phuket Thailand-over-sarasin-bridge">Lampi Waterfall together with much more, but late we've been exploring some lesser known areas. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few weeks agone nosotros took a displace roughly the Phuket Thailand-over-sarasin-bridge">Khlong Kian expanse which is itself most one-half the size of Phuket Thailand together with has some lovely views. To the eastward of Phang Nga Town, off the principal route to Krabi Thailand (a route nosotros convey driven many times) y'all abide by Bang Pat. I outset heard of Bang Pat most iv years agone when I saw it on a Thai TV channel, together with convey ever intended to halt there, but somehow never got roughly to it until final weekend.
I knew that Bang Pat has some restaurants, but on this footling trip nosotros decided to swallow first, together with thence conk depository fiscal establishment gibe out Bang Pat. We had luncheon at Phuket Thailand-over-sarasin-bridge">Dairy Hut Seafood, a really overnice identify inwards betwixt Phang Nga town together with Bang Pat. We've eaten at that spot several times before. The turning off the principal route to Bang Pat is most some other 6km past times Dairy Hut on the route towards Krabi Thailand. The plow off is non likewise good signposted, but it does tell "Bang Pat" inwards English, simply non inwards huge letters! Then there's a 10km displace on a pocket-sized route through footling villages, passing lots of agricultural state together with lots of shrimp farms every bit the surrounding expanse becomes by together with large mangroves. At the destination of the route - a auto park, toilets together with some stalls selling food. I was surprised to encounter thence many cars! Can this identify survive thence popular. It was difficult to abide by a parking spot, must convey been at to the lowest degree 50 cars there. Then I realised it was the outset weekend afterwards the destination of Ramadan. And Phang Nga is a largely Muslim area, thence Bang Pat was total of local families out for a large celebration meal. I would imagine whatever other fourth dimension it's non thence busy. I was a greyish solar daytime also, amongst some lite drizzle inwards the air, non ideal for photos - this agency I cry back nosotros convey to conk in i lawsuit to a greater extent than to larn to a greater extent than photos together with endeavor a eatery when it's less crowded.
Bang Pat is a angling hamlet built inwards the mangroves simply at the entrance to the opened upwards body of body of water (part of Phang Nga Bay). Seafood is the describe concern roughly hither - fish, prawns, crabs, shellfish. The hamlet is on the other side of a broad mangrove creek, thence y'all walk over a bridge, most 150 meters over to the village.

The restaurants were really busy on this day. I cry back on a sunnier day, could survive a really overnice identify to convey a seafood lunch.

OK, there's non a huge amount to encounter hither at Bang Pat - it's non a solar daytime trip on it's own, but combined amongst a few other nearby things it's worth a visit.
