Get ready to see the beautiful bioluminescence after the sunset, the best time to see the plankton.</p><br><p>Next comes the optimum time to see the bioluminescence, as the sun sets and evening approaches, the water is usually calmer and light from the plankton is more visually impressive. Here you should be lucky enough to see a mesmerizing display of glowing lights that will create lasting memories. The experience of being surrounded by bioluminescent water is truly enchanting, and this combined with sea canoeing and cave exploring makes for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the natural beauty of Phang Nga Bay’s waters.</p><br><p>Special Note: The bioluminescent plankton captured in the photos is a breathtaking natural wonder known for its sparkling illumination.
