Phuket/Khao Lak to Koh Lanta with Mountain Temples & Mangrove Rivers

  • Phang Nga
  • 8 hours

Description

Step away from the tourist trail and discover hidden spiritual gems and mystical landscapes on this peaceful full-day transfer tour. Begin with a visit to the impressive Wat Bang Riang, perched on a mountaintop in Phang Nga, known for its towering chedi and grand statues of Buddha and the Chinese goddess Kwan Yin.

Venture deeper into the mountains to Wat Tham Nakarat, the Dragon Cave Temple, where monks brew traditional herbal medicine believed to support the healing of cancer and HIV patients. Few tourists reach this serene valley, making it a truly unique experience.

Enjoy a traditional Thai lunch before continuing to the magical Tha Pom Klong Song Nam, a mangrove river known as the “fairy forest.” Stroll along the boardwalk as crystal-clear freshwater merges with the sea, surrounded by dense jungle and rare wildlife. If you’re lucky with the sunlight, you’ll see surreal light effects dance across the water.
