James Bond Island

James Bond Island is a famous landmark in Phang Nga Bay National Park. 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 feature of this famous bay is the number of sheer limestone cliffs that vertically jut out of the emerald-green water. Years of erosion have created caves, tunnels and ceilings studded with stalactites and jungle covers the island over 100meters high.

As this adventure involves canoeing into mangrove forests through limestone caves, which are only accessible between the tides. Traveling by canoe is the only way to enter a world that is the preserve of a fortunate few. Have a close look and you might be lucky to see some of the fruit bats, swallows, macaques, king fishers, hornbills or mudskippers who call this area their home.

Delicious Thai and seafood lunch at the Koh Panyee, famous as The Floating, Fishing, Football Village, which is built entirely on stilts above the water.
