Pankabay Resort sits on Koh Bulon, an island in Satun province on the Andaman coast of southern Thailand, so the last stage of the journey is by boat. The resort has its own private beach, and the neighbouring Ao Phang Ka Yai Beach is only 50 m away, so the sea is close at hand. The island suits people who want beach days, snorkelling and walks inland.

The island's sights are small and close together. Ao Phang Ka Noi Beach is 400 m away, a second stretch of sand on the same coast, and the Khao Bu Lon Yai peak rises 550 m from the resort. Tan Chamuk cave is 750 m away, and the Bat Cave lies further along the shore, while the village of Ban Ko Bulon Yai is a short distance off. A snorkelling spot is 1.2 km away, and fishing can be done off the beach itself.

A good day starts with a canoe trip along the coves and bays, followed by snorkelling over the reef and an afternoon fishing off the beach. A walk to the Khao Bu Lon Yai peak makes a good end to the day, and the evening is for dinner at the resort's restaurants.
