Bangkok Thailand Place should to visiting: Koh Panyee (เกาะปันหยี) Hamlet On Stilts Inward Phang Nga Bay

Koh Panyee (or Koh Panyi if y'all like) is a hamlet built on stilts inward Phang Nga Bay. We visited Koh Panyee on the same hateful solar daytime every bit James Bond Island, having hired a longtail boat from Samchong Seafood, a eating theatre inward Phang Nga. My master excogitation was to see exclusively James Bond Island, but nosotros were ready to larn out Scaramanga's lair past times 4pm, together with Koh Panyee is exclusively almost 7km farther north. Sunset at this fourth dimension of twelvemonth is only about 6:30pm, then nosotros had fourth dimension for a quick dash (our longtail had a novel engine) to Panyee together with fourth dimension for a proficient wander only about this fascinating hamlet built over the H2O side past times side to 1 of Phang Nga Bay's many huge limestone outcrops. We visited 1 time again during some other trip afterwards inward the twelvemonth - come across Phang Nga Bay - Doing it OUR way! And we've done some other trip to a greater extent than lately inward 2015 - come across Phang Nga Bay Revisited. Tours tin hold upwardly booked alongside Easy Day Thailand.

Koh Panyee is a small-scale island, less than 400m long, together with at that topographic point is non really whatever apartment land. Instead, over the terminal 200 years since the hamlet was founded, a community has built upwardly over the shallow waters to the southward of the limestone cliff / stone that makes upwardly Panyee island. Indeed, at depression tide, the waters are shallow plenty to stand upwardly in, or disappear completely which must help inward edifice these houses, all supported on a network of stilts. Some websites refer to Panyee every bit a floating village. It's non floating, the houses are all on stilts. Fishing was the primary merchandise here, together with is yet important, but tourism is forthwith good together with genuinely established - all the agency through the village, stalls are selling crafts, cloth, souvenirs, but at that topographic point is yet the sometime life hither - other stalls sell vegetables, fish, together with "Nam Prik Kung Siap" - a spicy shrimp paste, which my love married adult woman wanted to purchase a few kilos of (it's really tasty!)

On the agency to Koh Panyee from James Bond Island nosotros passed an isle used every bit a base of operations for kayaking tours. You tin top through a cave total of stalactites, which our kids loved. The longtail fairly sped over to Panyee, it exclusively took almost xx minutes from James Bond Island.

The play tricks alongside Panyee, if y'all desire to come across the village, rather similar Phuket - y'all direct maintain to await beyond the tourism. OK, on Panyee it's depression key. There are no hotels or bars, but one-half the isle is taken upwardly alongside restaurants that serve hateful solar daytime trippers on tours. If y'all walk through the village, at that topographic point are plenty of stalls selling things... some of these things are really really nice, for sure, if I was a tourist on vacation I would purchase a few souvenirs here. We did purchase a few picayune gifts for the kids similar primal rings together with a drum made out of a coconut. I was looking to a greater extent than for a existent experience of Panyee. First matter - I felt that the people hither are really friendly. H5N1 lot of the people must pass the hateful solar daytime selling crap souvenirs to the hordes of hateful solar daytime trippers, but nosotros arrived belatedly inward the day, exclusively a few tourists only about past times 5pm.. I saw many smiles together with happy people. And it was the people that I to a greater extent than oft than non wanted to photograph. Photos on this page are from our visits inward March together with September 2010. I desire to larn 1 time again sometime soon!

The structure of the hamlet - it's a maze of houses, paths, elevated walkways, everything built over the H2O on stilts! It's quite an impressive house when y'all intend almost it. H5N1 few photos to give an thought of how Panyee is built...

All these wooden planks together with stilts postulate looking after. Wood does non terminal forever. There are places where I worried that the woods looked a fleck sometime (and since I weigh good over 100kg, I practise non desire to pace on a plank that's probable to break!) I found a yoke of people inward the procedure of repairing their houses or fixing upwardly their boat dock...

I was walking only about alongside our kids - my married adult woman together with her sis were searching for the best shrimp glue - a lady suggested nosotros detour off the primary path together with cheque out the school. I think, or would similar to think, that the Koh Panyee schoolhouse made some impression on our kids. H5N1 elementary wooden structure built only about a playground.. alongside bully views!

I liked that nosotros arrived at Panyee hamlet after most of the tours had already left - throw inward a dozen boat loads of foreigners together with the narrow walkways would hold upwardly to a greater extent than crowded, together with the hawkers to a greater extent than vocal. We found this guy working on his drinking glass fish - the picayune pufferfish are indeed a run of art.

I love faces. Everyone has a unlike face. If people are happy to pose, I similar to direct maintain their photo. Koh Panyee is a unique house alongside unique people.. OK, they were belike to a greater extent than unique thirty years ago. Now they direct maintain the cyberspace together with daily contact alongside tourists, but sometimes inward a house similar this, I wonder "who is watching who". You intend the life inward Koh Panyee is strange, is really unlike to yours? I am really certain the people hither are watching the visitors, together with I intend Koh Panyee is yet a especial place.

(above) H5N1 homo rides a bicycle.. that's heavy traffic inward Koh Panyee.

By the fourth dimension nosotros left, I tin imagine everyone settling inward for the evening, tourists gone, exclusively the Panyee people here. H5N1 really small-scale hamlet similar this has a sense of community that y'all tin grasp. Everyone knows everyone. I used to alive on a small-scale isle some years ago. I larn that feeling hither inward Panyee, there's no trouble, no worries, no crime. Hardy a bad word. Lots of smiles. And we'll hold upwardly dorsum again.

For tours including Koh Panyee, contact my friends at Easy Day Thailand.
