A unique experience of the private champagne cruise at the Phang Nga landscape

COMO Point Yamu a contemporary ocean side resort perched above the Andaman Sea in Phuket recently launch the new ‘Phang Nga Bay Experience’, which includes a seven-night stay in one of the resort’s iconic villas, as well as a private Champagne cruise taking guests to the heart of the dramatic Phang Nga landscape.

Guests can explore this iconic setting, best viewed as the sun descends over the Andaman Sea.
