Itinerary
Phang Nga Bay is one of the most beautiful bays of Thailand. It is famous for its gravity-defying limestone formations. Most travellers visit Ko Khao Phing Kan, that since 1974, when it was featured in the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun, has been popularly called James Bond Island (see also James Bond tourism). In front of it is Ko Tapu, probably the most characteristic islet of the bay and often seen on tourist brochures.
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.
Koh Hong is a get away island on the Krabi coastline. Spend your day doing nothing but lazing on virgin sands. This wonderful group of tiny islands offers breathtaking scenery, soft white-sand beaches, coral reefs and a beautiful lagoon.
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
Excellent
One of the best trips not just because of the views and experiences , but because the guide was funny, excellent and made the whole trip doubly enjoyable and memorable.
Fun filled day at James Bond Island!!
It was really good and the team from I Asia Thailand were friendly, nice, well prepared and helpful. The food was really good, you don’t have to bring anything with you except your swimming wear and sunblock and they provide everything. We had too much fun and we really enjoyed our time I highly recommend to go with them.
This is one of the best tours we have taken in Phuket.
Pick up is on time we stayed at patong area so were first to be pick up and last to he dropped off, but i dont mind since i get to see different places in phuket. Staff and crew are all very welcoming and polite, they even make jokes that break the ice among guests. The experience is worth it, we went to 3 different islands including the James Bond Island. We did canoeing which is very hot but were able to explore other areas. Lunch is provided which was Thai food. Overall a perfect day and worth the experience.
Awesome activity with nice experience of seeing the islands and caves.
The entire tour is worth your money and most importantly your time. Made new Thai friends on this day out. The staff were just amazing taking us to all the sight and the highlight was thee James Bond Island and also the canoeing was so much fun. We also did many and learned many Thai related activities and history. We had the best captain. He is very friendly and keeps us entertained literally every moment.
Everything was super perfect. Great team, food, snacks, transportation and attractions
This was the second time we have taken this tour. I did this tour with my husband in last April and we liked it so much that we went for the same trip even this time. This tour is highly recommended, especially the kayaking through the caves is an experience of a lifetime.
