This spot is one of the most photographed places in south Thailand, but it's kind of a secret spot between photographers. Not many indicate the exact location where you can launch your drone. Because yes, you need to have a drone to get this view.

The exact spot is called Ngop-Ko Tapu Pier, it's basically a local pier where small boats leave for Phang Nga bay. So there's basically nothing there, the magic happens at 500 meters altitude where the whole bay appears on the screen of your controller. If you go at sunrise or sunset, you will probably encounter other drone pilots, just make sure you fly at different spots in the same time, there's a huge area to cover anyway. If you take a boat with locals and follow the river, you'll arrive at koh Panyee, a fishing village in the middle of the bay.
