Bond. James Bond. Try repeating this phrase on the set of one of the most renowned James Bond movies — The Man With The Golden Gun — filmed in 1974 and starring Roger Moore. Today, James Bond Island is one of the major attractions at Phang Nga Bay National Park. The beautiful island has remained almost exactly the same as featured in the movie and you will get the chance to walk in James Bond’s footsteps and take amazing photos with the famous backdrop. Explore the hidden caves and emerald lagoons by canoe, and step back into the prehistoric world at a landscape formed over many thousands of years. Visit the village of Koh Payee built on stilts hundreds of years ago. Enjoy a sumptuous lunch of typical food from Thailand. Get the chance to interact with the locals with the help of your guide and spot statues, carvings, and monkeys at Wat Suwan Khuha (Monkey Cave) before the end of your tour.

Itinerary

Phang Nga Bay lies between southern Thailand's mainland and Phuket Island. Also known as Ao Phang Nga National Park, it's characterized by limestone cliffs and rock formations, as well as mangrove forests and small islands. Among the islands are Koh Tapu, known as James Bond Island for its appearance in a Bond film. Koh Phanak Island is known for its caves and lagoons. The bay's waters are dotted with coral reefs.

Sea cave canoeing at Lod Cave, Phang Nga bay

3

Koh Phing Kan (Khao Phing Kan) is the larger limestone island beside Koh Tapu in Phang Nga Bay, northeast of Phuket. Boats land on Koh Phing Kan, while the 20-metre Koh Tapu limestone spire stands just offshore. Both formations sit within Ao Phang Nga National Park.

4

Koh Panyi, also known as Koh Panyee, is a fishing village in Phang Nga Province, Thailand, notable for being built on stilts by Malay fishermen. The population consists of 360 families or 1,685 people descended from two seafaring Muslim families from Java.

5

Wat Tham Suwan Khuha is an ancient archaeological and historical temple. The temple is located within a mountain with many large and small caves lined up next to each other. Each cave has different names such as Tham Yai, Tham Chaeng, Tham Dark, etc. The historical part of Wat Tham Suwan Khuha is a cave that in the past many kings and royal families had visited.

James Bond Island is a famous landmark in Phang Nga Bay. It first found its way onto the international tourist map through its starring role in the James Bond movie, The Man with the Golden Gun. A distinctive trait of this famous bay is the number of sheer limestone cliffs that vertically jut out of the emerald-green water.
