by GK2005 James Bond Island is a small stretch of land in the Andaman Sea that can be reached from Phuket on a day trip. The island was named after James Bond, the British spy who conquered his nemesis, the Man with the Golden Gun, in these islands. The island is even more attractive in reality than portrayed in that movie. As the boat closes in on the island, the dramatic scenery really hits you hard and takes your breath away. The island has a very small beach on one side which has clear unmuddied waters. Its very pleasant to walk along this beach though during the summer season, the throng of tour boats might make it difficult to walk freely. As you climb the rocks and cross over to the other side, there is a long walking bridge which also acts as a pier for the boats. On one side of this walking bridge is a huge rock formation that acts as a refuge from the sun when it gets really hot. This is another location for some scintillating photography. There are no accomodation facilities here and so no overnight stay is possible. Since the island is very tiny, there are not many shops either, so its better to carry food and other items while visiting this place. There are also no visible remnants in this place about the James Bond movie that was filmed here many years ago. However, the island is still pristine and unspoilt which makes it very pleasant to visit and enjoy. Leave a Comment Directions: From Phuket, James Bond Island can be reached by boat. There are many tour boats (long tailed boats) that ferry visitors to this island.

 This photo was taken secretly with great risk by genie47, 1 more photos Usually brochures at the airport or hotel will give information to book a tour to Scaramanga's Laser Cannon Facility. Usually involves a boat ride and is usually packaged together with elephant rides, ox cart rides and canoe visits to Phang Nga Bay. Take it for a day out. The fee includes lunch on a floating village. If you want to shave THB200-300 off the tour, book the tour direct and not through the hotel/resort concierge. Leave a Comment

 Phuket - Thailand by solopes Sometimes movies change the landscape to produce an illusion; some other times they use it exactly as it is, because there’s no need to add or change anything. That’s what happened with this island in James Bond film. Only building some paths and a small harbor, changing the angles, they created in the film the sensation of a world that… it’s not there. But all the outdoors elements are. It’s a common island with a magnificent and strange rock at the entrance of the bay, but it’s always crowded with people trying to relate the sights with the film memories. And it is an interesting stop in a good small trip. Leave a Comment

 Phang Nga Bay by MikeAtSea This spectacular region is about 90 minutes drive from Phuket on the Thai mainland. Boats can be found at a jetty of the Phang Nga Bay Hotel, board a motorboat and begin an unforgettable trip through the surrealist landscape of limestone stacks and green-clad outcrops. The rock’s dramatic colouring of ochre and amber hues contrasts vividly with the startling blue of the ocean. The unparalleled scenery of Phang Nga Bay presents a magical attraction for Phuket visitors and is well worth the trip. While exploring this wondrous region, the following attractions are of special interest: KAO PING GUN ISLAND Make sure to cruise past a distinct-looking rocky islet, popularly known as James Bond Island, where the filming of the final scenes of The Man with the Golden Gun took place. KOH PANYI A stop at this stilt village allows for a look at the villagers’ activities. From a floating jetty, wooden stairs lead up to the small community. The immediate area is full of stands offering souvenirs and handicraft items. Past this veritable shopping mecca, are some 400 houses, including a school for the village children. Leave a Comment Directions: Best to take an organized tour. The Bay is about 90 minutes drive on the lmainland

by asitrav The island became famous when a James Bond film was shot here in the 70s. Take a boat ride through mangrove areas and limestone caves to reach this place. Beaches in Phuket are beautiful (like the one in Patong). A good view of streches of beaches can be seen from Point View. Catch an entertaining show in Simon Cabaret at night. Leave a Comment

Would recommend without hesitation the trip to James Bond Island. If you are staying in South Phuket (we were at Kata Beach) it is a couple of hours on a coach, but absolutely worth it (and I hate long coach journeys!!) The journey out there through Phang Nga Bay is breathtaking and James Bond island is just stunning. You can swim out the the rock at high tide, and explore around the tiny island. A fantastic day out.
