Most of Koh Panyee’s attractions are centered around its floating village, so wear comfortable footwear as you’ll be walking on wooden pathways. Bring cash for shopping, as card payments might not be widely accepted. Dress modestly out of respect for the local culture, especially when visiting the mosque. Lastly, bring sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the tropical sun.

You can reach Koh Panyee via longtail boat from the nearby piers, such as Ao Por or Surakul. Tours often include stops at other iconic Phang Nga Bay sites like James Bond Island. The boat ride is part of the experience, offering fantastic views of the bay.

The best time to visit is during the dry season, from November to April, when the weather is clear and pleasant. Avoid the monsoon season (May to October) as heavy rains may disrupt travel plans. Early mornings are ideal for fewer crowds and softer light for photography.

Many day trips combine Koh Panyee with other attractions in Phang Nga Bay, such as kayaking through sea caves or exploring James Bond Island. These tours often include lunch in Koh Panyee, offering a chance to savor local seafood. Opt for guided tours to gain deeper insights into the village’s history and culture.
