Low flavor weather condition inward the Phuket expanse is rather unpredictable. If you're lucky you lot tin larn a calendar week of Sun together with bluish skies inward the so-called rainy season, but if you lot are unlucky you lot tin larn a calendar week amongst hardly whatever sun. The months from June to August were genuinely quite prissy this year, but the 2nd one-half of September was especially wet. And unfortunately for my cousin together with her family, that was when they visited Phuket :) You sure as shooting produce promise for lots of sunny beach days when visiting Phuket on holiday, but inward depression flavor you lot receive got to gamble, together with at the same fourth dimension accept wages of inexpensive hotel prices. So nosotros had a whole weekend to accept my cousin's identify unit of measurement out together with the weather condition was non promising, but oftentimes I believe you lot should simply larn anyway - the weather condition hither is oftentimes non every bit bad every bit it looks, together with pelting tin move really localised. We planned i of our Phang Nga Bay tours including James Bond Island together with Panyee village. We receive got done trips similar this many times together with it's been on the spider web log earlier - encounter Phang Nga Bay 2010 together with Phang Nga Bay 2015. My friends amongst the Easy Day Thailand tour society run tours simply about this area.
So, Sat was looking rather wet, but nosotros drove out of Phuket anyway together with had a prissy luncheon at Nern Khao View Talay, a prissy eatery amongst a view. But every bit nosotros ate nosotros could encounter pelting coming inward from the westward together with a duet of times the pelting lashed down. Undeterred, nosotros continued to see Wat Suwan Kuha, a lovely temple built into a cave non far from Phang Nga Town.

Well, the weather condition genuinely was wet. Rained most of that afternoon, rained all the drive dorsum to Phuket but did finally halt inward the eve for us to receive got a trivial walk simply about onetime Phuket Town! But on Dominicus morn - nosotros woke upwardly to sunshine! Yes! Let's endeavor i time to a greater extent than .. nosotros drove off Phuket again, together with the weather condition looked OK therefore nosotros headed for luncheon at Samchong Seafood where nosotros receive got been numerous times earlier together with nosotros constitute dorsum inward 2010 that nosotros could larn a boat from at that spot to James Bond Island. Lunch was really good, but unfortunately piece nosotros ate, the nighttime skies appeared together with nosotros had some heavy pelting :(

(above) Samchong Seafood together with nighttime skies!
Seemed similar the skies were clearing afterwards that lunchtime rain, therefore off nosotros went! We genuinely got the same longtail boat driver who'd taken us inward 2010 together with the cost was the same. Cost us 1800 Baht afterwards some bargaining yesteryear my wife. I am non sure if a non-Thai / non-local grouping would larn the same price, but inward whatever case, fifty-fifty if you lot pay a flake 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 eatery most 2:15pm together with 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 encounter nighttime skies inward at to the lowest degree two 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 upwardly amongst us.
(above) In Phang Nga Bay most 20 minutes into our ride .. tin nosotros dodge the showers? It was all going good until nosotros were inward sight of Panyee, therefore nosotros got wet. Plus it was a flake windy together with the longtail guy had to hold off a piece earlier heading into Panyee because it may receive got been a flake unsafe amongst the boat banging against the jetty. We had most 10 minutes waiting .. the boat had a roof, but no sides together with nosotros were really clever together with had no raincoats :)
(above) In the pelting close Koh Panyee. I had to set the phone/camera away simply afterwards this, it was wet!
So nosotros landed on Koh Panyee amongst the pelting all the same falling, but things dried up. I receive got a item liking for Panyee. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 trivial community out inward the sea, no roads, no cars, the form of identify where everyone knows everyone. What would it move similar to grow upwardly there? I mean, it's non genuinely therefore remote. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 boat upwardly to Phang Nga pier is alone a brusk ride together with you're inside tardily accomplish of the megalopolis of Phuket! After lunchtime (when many boats total of tourists province together with swallow at a row of same-looking buffet restaurants) the identify is quieter together with every bit ever I enjoyed walking the dorsum streets poking my olfactory organ into people's lives :)

It's betwixt the mosque together with the schoolhouse on the westward side of the island, therefore you lot ask to follow some trivial alleyways to honor it - all the restaurants where tours province are on the eastward side. As you lot tin encounter from the photograph higher upwardly .. the weather condition i time to a greater extent than looked better. We spent most an hr at Panyee earlier heading S to James Bond Island (actually called Koh Khao Ping Kan). Only most 20 minutes yesteryear longtail boat. We approached Scaramanga's isle simply afterwards 4:30pm. There is some form of dominion amongst national parks. If you lot larn into afterwards 4:30pm you lot don't ask to pay the entry fee. Our boatman shouted over to the beach where a duet of common staff had already unopen their office. We did non ask to pay. Normal entry fee is 300 Baht for non-Thai people. The other wages of arriving at James Bond Island this tardily is that all the tours receive got left already. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few of the souvenir stallholders were all the same at that spot (stalls closed, waiting for the in conclusion boat home), otherwise it is really prissy 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 westward side. We saw that a prissy novel stairway has been built over to the due north side, much easier to walk over now! Despite the greyness skies together with threatening rain, the persuasion was a proficient every bit ever, or better! Me together with my man child enjoyed a few minutes on the beach, the identify 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 together with the heaven apace darkened.
And most 1 infinitesimal afterwards taking this photograph a tempest whipped inward from the westward really suddenly. Rain lashed horizontally across the beach. We sheltered nether a minor roof, but therefore retreated simply about the corner nether the leaning stone (Khao Ping Kan) although it's non 100% nether encompass together with nosotros retreated farther into the cave every bit the air current howled together with a few minor pieces of tree cruel down! We hid for nearly one-half an hr until most 5:15pm, therefore were able to walk dorsum over to the boat. The air current was blowing a flake therefore nosotros waited a piece longer. The pelting did non halt either, but eventually nosotros had to larn out or it would move 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 recall everyone enjoyed the scenery together with adventure! For sure a sunny twenty-four hr stream would move nicer, but the Phang Nga Bay scenery is genuinely swell amongst rainy skies. Only problem was it was sometimes likewise moisture to larn my telephone out to accept photos! This won't move the in conclusion fourth dimension nosotros produce this trip...
