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. The bizarre – why-doesn’t-it-fall-over – outline of James Bond Island or Koh Tapu ('nail island' in Thai), lies next to the equally popular Koh Ping Ghan (sometimes spelled as Ping Gan or Ping Gun). The entire area surrounding this island is indeed spectacular.

Duration: 1 hourAdmission: YES

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.

Great trip!

It was great to see James Bond Island and to get the photo however the highlight was the canoeing for us. Our canoeist was excellent and the scenery stunning. What the blurb doesn’t tell you is that there is a lot of bus travel, nearly 4 hours, thankfully we had a good driver and the roads were good from Krabi.
