EXTREME LIFE in a MUSLIM FLOATING VILLAGE in THAILAND 🇹🇭 | Koh Panyee, Phuket
Thailand, Phuket - In this video we take show you a muslim village in Thailand. Koh Panyee is a special Muslim village floating on the sea in Phang Nga Bay. It is part of the Ao Phang Nga National Park. The floating island lies in the shadow of a high limestone rock formation in a sheltered bay at sea.
The floating Muslim village was created about two hundred years ago by 3 seafaring fishing families from Java in Indonesia. They were looking for a good location with lots of fish. If they would find that place they would let them know by hoisting a flag on top of a mountain top so others could join them. They found the sheltered spot by the high rock and hoisted the flag. Slowly more people joined them, and in the meantime 400 families are living here! Nowadays only the older generation in the village still speaks Bahasa Indonesia, the younger generation mainly speaks Thai.
Koh Panyee is usually visited as part of the James Bond Island Tour from Phuket, Phang Nga Town or Krabi. If you only want to visit Koh Panyee and/or stay overnight there, you can discuss this with the longtail boat owner at the Tha Dan Pier or the tour agency in Phang Nga Town. From Phang Nga Bay the crossing should not cost more than 200 baht. From Phuket or Krabi it is probably cheaper and easier to join a tour. If you want to stay at Koh Panyee you can ask if you can join another tour the next day to make the journey back.
Have fun watching 😊
