Of course what 30th birthday trip with friends would be complete without a 30th birthday party? We had long thought about staying at the Park Hyatt because of its amazing amenities and views (it’s the world’s tallest hotel) but had eventually looked elsewhere for space and location concerns. So obviously we had to still go!
Really no way around it…Phang Nga is an equatorial paradise. This is a selection of photos from about 1,700 others.
OK so it’s not really called “Eagle Island,” but at this point we had seen 107,000 islands. This one had sea eagles that flew around the cliffs and dove into the water for fish. Hence, Eagle Island. It’s full of caves, and upside-down palm trees, and…eagles. The national park office for Phang Nga Bay is on this island. It’s that tiny hut on the small beach with the dog. I’m pretty sure the Jurassic Park theme song is playing like nonstop on their radio. Someone call Sam Neill!
James Bond Island gets its own post because, just look at. Seems like we had literally only one pose in our arsenal. But it’s a good one. I kept trying to get people on the speedboat to join Alex, Layla, and me in singing the theme song…to no avail. Our tour guide was game, though.
