Low flavour conditions inward the Phuket expanse is rather unpredictable. If you're lucky y'all tin sack teach a calendar week of Sun too bluish skies inward the so-called rainy season, but if y'all are unlucky y'all tin sack teach a calendar week amongst hardly whatever sun. The months from June to August 2017 were genuinely quite overnice this year, but the 2nd one-half of September 2017 was especially wet. And unfortunately for my cousin too her family, that was when they visited Phuket :) You sure enough produce promise for lots of sunny beach days when visiting Phuket on holiday, but inward depression flavour y'all receive got to gamble, too at the same fourth dimension accept payoff of inexpensive hotel prices. So nosotros had a whole weekend to accept my cousin's solid unit of measurement out too the conditions was non promising, but oftentimes I believe y'all should simply teach anyway - the conditions hither is oftentimes non every bit bad every bit it looks, too pelting tin sack live rattling localised. We planned i of our Phang Nga Bay tours including James Bond Island too Panyee village. We receive got done trips similar this many times too it's been on the spider web log earlier - run across Phang Nga Bay 2010 too Phang Nga Bay 2015. My friends amongst the Easy Day Thailand tour fellowship run day tours simply about this area.
So, Sat was looking rather wet, but nosotros drove out of Phuket anyway (always remember positive!) too had a overnice tiffin at Nern Khao View Talay, a overnice eating seat amongst a view. But every bit nosotros ate nosotros could run across rainclouds coming inward apace from the due west too a twosome of times the pelting lashed down. Undeterred, nosotros continued to see Wat Suwan Kuha, a lovely temple built into a cave unopen to Phang Nga Town.

Well, the conditions genuinely was wet. Rained most of that afternoon, rained all the drive dorsum to Phuket but did finally halt inward the flush for us to receive got a picayune walk simply about former Phuket Town! But on Dominicus morn - nosotros woke upward to sunshine! Yes! Let's endeavor i time to a greater extent than .. nosotros drove off Phuket again, too the conditions looked OK thence nosotros headed for tiffin at Samchong Seafood where nosotros receive got been numerous times earlier - nosotros establish dorsum inward 2010 that nosotros could teach a boat from at that spot to James Bond Island. Lunch was rattling good, but unfortunately spell nosotros ate, the nighttime skies appeared too nosotros had some heavy rain.

(above) Samchong Seafood too nighttime skies!
Seemed similar the skies were clearing subsequently that lunchtime rain, thence off nosotros went! We genuinely got the same longtail boat driver who'd taken us inward 2010 too the toll was the same. Cost us 1800 Baht subsequently some bargaining yesteryear my wife. I am non sure if a non-Thai / non-local grouping would teach the same price, but inward whatever case, fifty-fifty if y'all pay a fleck more, that's non much to receive got your ain boat for a few hours.
(above) Our longtail guy for the afternoon. We got the boat from the jetty side yesteryear side to the eating seat most 2:15pm too weren't dorsum at Samchong until most 6pm.
(above) Heading out into Phang Nga Bay. No pelting ... As nosotros came out of the broad mangrove channel where Samchong is located, nosotros could run across nighttime skies inward at to the lowest degree 2 directions, but our longtail guy seemed sure he could dodge the rain! We took a detour heading towards Koh Panyee village, but eventually the pelting caught upward amongst us.
(above) In Phang Nga Bay most 20 minutes into our ride .. tin sack nosotros dodge the showers? It was all going good until nosotros were inward sight of Panyee, too thence nosotros got wet. Plus it was a fleck windy too the longtail guy had to hold off a spell earlier heading into Panyee because it may receive got been a fleck unsafe amongst the boat banging against the jetty. We had most 10 minutes waiting .. the boat had a roof, but no sides too nosotros were rattling clever too had no raincoats :)
(above) In the pelting close Koh Panyee. I had to position the phone/camera away simply subsequently this, it was wet!
So nosotros landed on Koh Panyee amongst the pelting notwithstanding falling, but things dried up. I receive got a item liking for Panyee. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 picayune community out inward the sea, no roads, no cars, the form of identify where everyone knows everyone. What would it live similar to grow upward there? I mean, it's non genuinely thence remote. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 boat upward to Phang Nga pier is exclusively a brusk ride too you're inside slow compass of the megalopolis of Phuket! After lunchtime (when many boats total of tourists nation too swallow at a row of same-looking buffet restaurants) the identify is quieter too every bit ever I enjoyed walking the dorsum streets poking my olfactory organ into people's lives :)

It's betwixt the mosque too the schoolhouse on the due west side of the island, thence y'all involve to follow some picayune alleyways to detect it - all the restaurants where tours nation are on the due east side. As y'all tin sack run across from the photograph higher upward .. the conditions i time to a greater extent than looked better. We spent most an hr at Panyee earlier heading due south to James Bond Island (actually called Koh Khao Ping Kan). Only most 20 minutes yesteryear longtail boat. We approached Scaramanga's isle simply subsequently 4:30pm. There is some form of dominion amongst national parks. If y'all enter subsequently 4:30pm y'all don't involve to pay the entry fee. Our boatman shouted over to the beach where a twosome of common staff had already closed their office. We did non involve to pay. Normal entry fee is 300 Baht for non-Thai people. The other payoff of arriving at James Bond Island this belatedly is that all the tours receive got left already. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few of the souvenir stallholders were notwithstanding at that spot (stalls closed, waiting for the lastly boat home), otherwise it is rattling overnice to receive got a major tourist attraction almost to yourself!
(above) approaching James Bond Island from the north
We landed at the beach on the due west side. We saw that a overnice novel stairway has been built over to the northward side, much easier to walk over now! Despite the greyness skies too threatening rain, the persuasion was a expert every bit ever, or better! Me too my man child enjoyed a few minutes on the beach, the solid unit of measurement all got a few photos. We all had a few minutes of peace inward this beautiful setting, but the pelting was coming too the heaven apace darkened.
And most 1 infinitesimal subsequently taking this photograph a tempest whipped inward from the due west rattling suddenly. Rain lashed horizontally across the beach. We sheltered nether a small-scale roof, but too thence retreated simply about the corner nether the leaning stone (Khao Ping Kan) although it's non 100% nether embrace too nosotros retreated farther into the cave every bit the current of air howled too a few small-scale pieces of tree roughshod down! We hid for nearly one-half an hr until most 5:15pm, too thence were able to walk dorsum over to the boat. The current of air was blowing a fleck thence nosotros waited a spell longer. The pelting did non halt either, but eventually nosotros had to teach out or it would live getting dark! The 20 infinitesimal longtail boat ride dorsum to Samchong got us at that spot non long earlier dark. What a moisture day. I remember everyone enjoyed the scenery too adventure! For sure a sunny twenty-four hours would live nicer, but the Phang Nga Bay scenery is genuinely neat amongst rainy skies. Only problem was it was sometimes every bit good moisture to teach my telephone out to accept photos! This won't live the lastly fourth dimension nosotros produce this trip...
