The province of Phang Nga, north-east of Phuket, is world-famous for its bay of vertical limestone karsts emerging from the sea — including the famous Koh Tapu (James Bond Island). It is also home to the preserved and authentic islands of Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai, as well as inland caves, mangroves and waterfalls.

The real estate market here is emerging and nature-oriented: eco-responsible villas in Koh Yao, discreet mangrove-edge resorts and character properties. Phang Nga attracts investors seeking preserved nature, tranquility and future value, close to Phuket but at a much lower cost. Strong tourism and long-term appreciation potential.
