4- and 5-star hotels in Phang Nga
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels across Phang Nga province, from the Andaman beaches of Khao Lak to the quiet islands of Koh Yao Yai and the bay-view hills above Phang Nga Town. It is for travellers choosing between a mainland beach base and an island stay.
Staying in Phang Nga
Phang Nga stretches along Thailand's Andaman coast, about 100 kilometers north of Phuket International Airport. Its draws are Phang Nga Bay with its limestone karsts, the beaches of Khao Lak, and the islands of Koh Yao Yai and Koh Yao Noi. Phang Nga Town is the provincial capital, a small mainland town with markets and temples that is less touristy than the coast. The dry season from November to April brings sunny, calm weather suited to boat trips and beach days, with temperatures typically between 25°C and 32°C.
These hotels sit in several different parts of the province. Koh Yao Yai addresses cover the island's west and south coasts. Na Toey in Thai Muang and Khuk Khak in Khao Lak place others on the mainland shore. One sits on the hills at Klongkheng near Phang Nga Town, and one at Khok Kloy in Takua Tung. The mix suits couples and families who want a beach or island resort, and short-break travellers happy to move around by car, boat or shuttle.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Phang Nga is about 100 kilometers north of Phuket International Airport, which is the main gateway. From the airport, you can take a taxi, minivan, or bus to destinations like Khao Lak or Phang Nga Town. Buses also run from Bangkok's Southern Bus Terminal to Phang Nga, a journey of several hours. For the islands, boats depart from Phuket, Krabi, and Phang Nga Bay. Getting around locally is easiest by car or motorbike; songthaews and taxis are available in some areas but limited. For island hopping, you can join boat tours or hire longtail boats.
When to go
The best time to visit Phang Nga is during the dry season, from November to April, when the weather is sunny and calm, ideal for boat trips and beach activities. The monsoon season runs from May to October, bringing rain and rough seas, though some travelers prefer the quieter, greener low season. Temperatures are warm year-round, typically between 25°C and 32°C. Peak tourist season is December to February, so book accommodation in advance if visiting then.
