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
Khao Phing Kan or Ko Khao Phing Kan is an island in Thailand, in Phang Nga Bay northeast of Phuket. About 40 metres from the shores of Khao Phing Kan lies a 20-metre tall islet called Ko Ta Pu or Ko Tapu. The islands are limestone karst towers and are a part of Ao Phang Nga National Park.
Ko 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.
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.

Traveler reviews
James Bond island
Our guide, Boom was very knowledgeable and helpful. Went above and beyond taking loads of pictures and brought props; also had rain gear for us.
Excellent day exploring many spots
Our guide Charlie was amazing!! She was very knowledgeable and fun! It was a long day filled with fun adventures! The canoe trip was so fun and interesting. I absolutely loved the monkeys at the monkey temple. Be careful if you buy the food, they can see it even if you are hiding it and smell it and will surround you. Would highly recommend!
