Snorkeling and Diving - The outstanding snorkeling and diving spots are Similan Island national Marine Park, Surin Island National Marine Park, and other islands scattering around in Phang Nga Bay like Yao Island, Khai Island, Hong Isalnd and Panak Island. 

Snorkeling can obviously be enjoyed by the whole family, young and old. Observe at close quarters a huge array of reef fish such as damsels, triggerfish, parrotfish, surgeonfish, banner fish, and lionfish. Equipment and a local guide will be provided on all arranged trips. The nearest site is Khao Na Yak Reef, just off the coast of KhaoLak. There are a colourful variation of fish here, and interesting coral gardens. Trips by long-tail boat are readily available.

The Similan Islands are probably one of the most popular destinations. They are renowned the world over for their natural beauty and incredible underwater sightseeing at depths from two to thirty five meters.

The two largest islands are Ko Surin Nua (north island) and Ko Surin Tai (south island) and at one point these two islands lie just across a small bay from each other. Some of the best diving to be had is in the channel between these two islands. Ko Chi, Ko Pachumba and Ko Torinla are the other islands. There is also the small rock outpost of Hin Rap ( 2km north of Surin Nua) and a series of granite boulders projecting above the surface at Hin Kong ( 2km east of the southern half of Surin Tai).

Trekking & elephant riding: As most part of Pnag Nga is forested area, and with many national parks established in the province, there several places for trekking. It is a good experience to discover its fertility of floras and faunas as well as to study about birds and wild animals. Trekking can be done by riding on the elephant back or hiking along the nature trail arranged in each national park. The interested nature trails include Khao Lak-Laem Ru National Park of which the trail offers an opportunity to see various species of birds and wild animals. Another place where you can trek and ride on the elephant back is at Tone Pariwatt Wildlife Sanctuary which provides a trail trough a dense jungle dotted with beautiful waterfall and abundant with rare species of plants and wild animals. In Thai Muang National Park, you can walk along the nature trail teemed with verdant jungle spotted by pleasant waterfalls as well.

The Turtle Releasing Festival - Phang-nga Province has an annual 7-day Turtle Releasing Festival in March. Turtles raised by the Fisheries Department are released by festival participants into the sea at Thai Muang Beach. Leatherback and Olive Ridley are the two main species of turtle which frequent the Park.  They come ashore to lay their eggs on moonlit nights between November and April, at which time the beach is patrolled by Park rangers. For conservation and protection purposes, most of the eggs are removed by staff to a nursery. Incubation takes 60 days, after which time the youngsters are released naturally back into the Andaman Sea. The particular releasing in March is designed to heighten people's awareness of the declining numbers of nesting females and promote conservation efforts.
