@simplywander: Can you believe there’s a floating village with over 1,500 residents hidden in a remote bay in Thailand? Koh Panyee is a village built on stilts in the middle of Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay. It was founded over 200 years ago by 3 Indonesian fishermen. They built the village over water since foreigners couldn’t legally own land. The majority of the 360 families living here today are their direct descendants! Today, Koh Panyee is a floating piece of history and a thriving village with a mosque, a school, a hospital, a floating soccer pitch, a market, a museum, restaurants, a small hotel, and even a cemetery! To visit the village, take a longtail boat from Phuket or Phang Nga. Bring cash for handmade souvenirs and fresh seafood! #KohPanyee #ThailandTravel #FloatingVillage #PhangNgaBay #HiddenThailand
