Spend the day cruising the islands in Phang Nga Bay, 75 km (46 miles) north-east of Phuket. Among the wonders of Asia, the limestone-mountains rise 300 metres (900 feet) out of the sea and are simply breathtaking. Many of their sheer faces are clad in curtains of limestone; others are shaped like melted candle wax.
You will enjoy a speedboat cruise through Phang Nga Bay around these incomparable limestone islands that are lined with mangroves and intriguing caves. As your hair blows in the warm breeze, your cruise heads for Koh Ping Kan, also known as James Bond Island and the location for the movie 'The Man with the Golden Gun'. Immediately beside Koh Ping Kan stands Koh Tapu (Nail Island), rising sheerly out of the water on an impossibly narrow base.

The east and west land masses of Phi Phi Don are joined by a narrow peninsula and it is here that much of the tourist development has taken place.
The smaller and undeveloped sister island, Phi Phi Ley, has been immortalized in the movie 'The Beach'. It is popularly believed that pirates used to hide out in the island's caves. Many cave paintings have also been discovered depicting sailing boats of the kind that sailed the seas in times long ago.

TropOut was created because we were after a fun and refined travel experience where we could completely relax and be free to be ourselves.
As gay travellers, we can now travel to an ever increasing number of destinations that are accepting of us, but a look here or there when we hold hands or party with friends can leave us feeling guarded.
We want to feel totally unguarded when we travel, but cruises and circuit parties aren't really of interest to us.
Our ideal travel experience is one where we can get out and explore the culture and sights of a new or favourite destination, or rejuvenate in a chilled environment.
And after a day of exploring or chilling, we'd like to return to a stylish setting where we can meet and party with likeminded travellers from all over the world.
So TropOut was born: a new style of gay travel, where travellers from all over the world can chill, party and explore in a fun, yet refined environment.
Our mission as a business is simple: to deliver exceptional and comfortable experiences for gay travellers- experiences filled with relaxation, cultural discovery and chic party.
With the five star Angsana Laguna Phuket reserved for TropOut travellers, stylish beach clubs hosting premier parties with world class entertainment, and an array of cultural excursions and wellness options on offer, we have no doubt that we will deliver on our mission for TropOut 2016.
We can't wait for you to join us to Chill, Party & Explore in Amazing Thailand!
