"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 (sometime spelt as Ping Gan or Ping Gun). The entire area surrounding this island is indeed spectacular, but it can get crowded with tourist boats during high season."
"This island provides a fantastic retreat from the busy city life! While renowned for being a filming location for a James Bond movie, the island offers an incredible natural escape. Although the water may not be suitable for swimming and the island is situated within a National Park, the breathtaking views make up for it. The caves and lagoons surrounding the island are a delightful addition to the experience!"
