Phang Nga Bay National Park, a jewel in Thailand’s Andaman Sea, is renowned for its magnificent landscapes, featuring limestone cliffs and mountainous islands set against azure waters. This natural marvel has long captivated visitors with its dramatic scenery and unique geological formations. Now, the newly opened Beyond Skywalk Nangshi offers an unparalleled way to experience the beauty of Phang Nga Bay from a vantage point like no other.

Beyond Skywalk Nangshi

Situated at the heart of Phang Nga Bay, the resort hotel Beyond Skywalk Nangshi emerges as a testament to innovative design and sustainable tourism. With 57 rooms and villas, the resort is more than just a place to stay; it’s an invitation to immerse oneself in the area’s natural splendour. The highlight, a 180-meter-long glass-floor sky bridge, stands 80 meters above the ground, offering 360-degree views of the bay from the locally known Samed Nangshe Viewpoint.

The sky bridge’s glass floor, three centimetres thick, is engineered to support 500 kilograms per square meter, ensuring the safety of visitors as they step out into the void for a breathtaking panoramic view. The Skywalk experience is priced at B500 per adult and B300 per child until February 29, with ticket prices converted into food credit of the same amount, adding value to the visitor experience.

Samet Nangshe Skywalk Tour

The Samet Nangshe Skywalk Tour is designed to offer an immersive experience of Phang Nga Province’s natural beauty. The tour includes an admission ticket to the skywalk, a complimentary drink, and the promise of unforgettable views of mangrove forests, limestone karsts, and the serene waters of the bay. Recognised as one of the best places in Thailand to witness the sunrise, visitors are encouraged to arrive early to capture the magic of dawn breaking over the bay.

About Samet Nangshe Viewpoint

Samet Nangshe Viewpoint, perched atop a hill accessible via a 10 – 20-minute climb, offers stunning 180-degree views overlooking Phang Nga Bay. Its position provides a unique perspective on the hundreds of limestone formations and islands dotting the seascape. The viewpoint has become a haven for photographers and nature enthusiasts alike, drawn by the promise of capturing the perfect sunrise or the brilliant display of the Milky Way in the absence of light pollution.

Despite its growing popularity, Samet Nangshe retains a sense of tranquillity and untouched beauty. The area, though privately owned and requiring a nominal entry fee, welcomes visitors with basic amenities like water and snacks, making the journey up the hill as comfortable as it is rewarding.
