Yes, this place is a tourist trap, and yes, it's mostly too crowded. BUT: admittedly, the islands called Khao Phing Kan and Khao Tapu that are located in the bay of Phang-Nga are still beautiful.
The rock pinnacle that you can see on the picture is called Khao Tapu and made this place world-famous. It was a film set for a James Bond movie with Roger Moore (by the way, I have never watched this movie).
The funny thing is, while I was looking at these old pictures, I just now realized how beautiful this view really is - over 5 years later. Still, I probably wouldn't go there again as it was just too touristy.
