About this tour
When Em from our BugBitten team tried the Phuket Skywalk Nangshi Sunset tour, we found ourselves suspended over the Andaman in a glass-bottomed walkway with seriously good views. The day runs nine hours from a 1pm Phuket hotel pickup, takes in Sarasin Bridge for photos, then heads to Beyond Skywalk Nangshi—a clifftop attraction that leans heavily on the novelty factor. You get a 200 THB credit to spend at the on-site café or restaurant, an air-conditioned ride there and back, and your choice to add a James Bond island boat excursion. It's a solid half-day jaunt if you're after the Instagram moment and don't mind paying for most extras.
Highlights
- Glass skywalk suspension over the Andaman Sea delivers genuine adrenaline
- Sarasin Bridge stop yields proper photo ops of the strait
- Sunset timing catches decent light across the water and limestone cliffs
- Small on-site credit softens the food-and-drink gap slightly
- James Bond island option adds a second activity without two pickups
- Air-con vehicle handles Thailand's midday heat well
- Suits all fitness levels — no serious hiking or climbing required
What to expect
Your driver collects you from your Phuket hotel at 1pm and heads north toward the skywalk. The Sarasin Bridge stop is brief but worthwhile—Em found the vantage point decent for capturing the strait's light. From there, it's a coastal drive to Beyond Skywalk Nangshi, perched on a headland with real drop-offs beneath. The glass walkway itself is the main event: you're looking straight down whilst walking out over the void. Views of the Andaman stretch far, and the limestone topography is genuinely striking. The site's compact, so the experience is intense but short-lived—maybe 30–45 minutes of actual walkway time.
You'll have downtime to use your 200 THB credit at the café or restaurant (coffee, snacks, light meals available). If you've added the James Bond island boat, expect a separate guide and a long-tail boat ride through limestone karsts. The overall pace feels rushed if you linger—the 9-hour block includes travel time, so actual time on-site is maybe 3–4 hours. Sunset is the highlight; the light softens the landscape noticeably by late afternoon.

Good to know
The glass skywalk is genuinely thrilling if you're not afraid of heights—it's genuinely different from standard viewpoints. The sunset timing works in the tour's favour; late afternoon light is warmer and shadows tell the landscape's story better. Small credit toward food takes the edge off spending. The James Bond add-on avoids a separate hotel pickup, so you're not doubling back.
Most food and drinks aren't included; your 200 THB won't stretch far if you're hungry (mains cost more). The site fills up by mid-afternoon—expect crowds during peak season. Walking is minimal but the cliff edge has exposed drop-offs; not ideal with very small children despite prams being allowed. Early evening can feel rushed if you don't time it carefully. Wear grippy shoes on the glass; socks alone won't work. Bring a light jumper for the air-con vehicle and bring cash or cards for extras. Group size varies; you're on a coach, not a private vehicle.
