Ko Panyi

This time we went from Phang Nga Bay and sailed through its channels to arrive at the floating village of Koh Panyee. The people of Koh Ko Panyee or Panyi are actually from a settlement which is a provision of the confluence of two Klongs (channels) artificially constructed by people arriving from Muslim Indonesia. These people came here 200 years ago and at that time, they discovered the marine life that excisted and so dedicated themselves to fishing. Over time this village has become a tourist destination in Phang Nga Bay with the famous Koh Tapu Island (James Bond). The platform was built on and secured by huge piles with restaurants and a market inside.
