Samet Nangshe Viewpoint

This used to be a secret sunset spot. Once word got out, it quickly became one of Phang Nga province’s most popular viewpoints. It provides stunning views over Phang Nga Bay’s limestone islets, and even the Milky Way is visible if the conditions are right. It remains relatively undiscovered because it’s a 25km drive from Sarasin Bridge along twisting country roads.
