    If you’re planning a trip to Phuket, then you won’t want to miss the James Bond island Phuket. This majestic, gravity-defying structure is a must-see sight.

    The island, which was immortalized by the James Bond movie in 1974, is a popular tourist attraction that draws thousands of visitors every day. It’s also a gateway to other stunning islands in Phang Nga Bay, like Koh Panyee Island and Khai islands.
    Koh Panyee Island

    Located in Phang Nga Bay, Koh Panyee is a small community that’s built entirely on stilts. It was established 200 years ago by three Indonesian families who sailed to Thailand seeking fresh beginnings.

    The village’s economy is mainly dependent on fishing, but the tourism industry has also taken off. There are a number of restaurants and stores on the island that cater to tourists, but local life goes back to normal once the boats have left.

    It’s a fascinating place to visit and worth taking the time to stroll around on raised wooden walkways as well as watching the kids playing football on the unique floating football pitch made from scraps of wood and old fishing rafts!

    There are a number of options for visiting Koh Panyee including longtail boat transfers or guided tours from Phuket, Krabi and Phang Nga. Guided trips usually include a hotel pickup and last between 5 and 8 hours.
    Koh Khao Phing Kan

    Koh Khao Phing Kan is one of the quiet islands near Phuket that is known for its funnel-shaped rock formation. It is also popular for its mangrove forests and calm waters that are great for trekking expeditions.

    It consists of two forest-covered islands, the western and the eastern parts. The western part is about 130 meters long and the eastern part is about 240 meters.

    There are several caves on these islands and a few sandy beaches that tourists can visit. The pristine waters around these islands are perfect for snorkeling and swimming.

    The island is also a home to many animals, including elephants, gaurs, bears, and gibbons. You can take jeep safaris to see these creatures.

    The island is a must-see while in Thailand. It’s a perfect place to see wildlife and the limestone formations make it a sight to behold!
    Koh Ta Pu

    The rocky pinnacle of Koh Ta Pu is one of the most spectacular natural wonders of Phang Nga Bay. This limestone karst tower appears to vertically jut out of the emerald-green sea.

    This is why it became a famous landmark and turned James Bond Island into a tourist destination in Thailand, with thousands of tourists visiting every year. Whether you’re a James Bond fan or not, it’s worth a visit to this stunning location.

    If you’re looking for a stress-free vacation, booking an affordable tour to this amazing spot is the way to go. Most tour packages include one hour at this popular destination, giving you plenty of time to swim, take photos and try your best Bond pose.

    The island was originally known as Koh Tapu, meaning a nail or spike, before it gained fame for being filmed in the 1974 Bond movie, ‘The Man With The Golden Gun’. Together with its surrounding Island, Khao Phing Kan, it became popularly called James Bond Island, and both are now part of the Ao Phang Nga National Park in southern Thailand.
    Koh Phi Phi

    Koh Phi Phi is an utterly gorgeous piece of Asian paradise with aqua waters, golden sands and picturesque seascapes. The perfect place to enjoy a relaxing beach holiday, the islands of Phi Phi are a must-see for anyone visiting Thailand!

    When it comes to activities, there is a wide range available in Koh Phi Phi. From scuba diving and boat tours to visiting Maya Bay or snorkeling around Mosquito Island, there is something for everyone!

    If you are looking for a different type of activity, you can also take a hike up the mountain to visit the viewpoints that overlook the island. This is a short but rewarding hike that will take up most of your day and provide some stunning views!

    Another way to pass your time in Koh Phi Phi is to watch the Muay Thai fights at Reggae Bar on Tonsai Beach. The fighters come from all over Asia and the world, so you can expect to see a lot of action!
