James Bond island: James Bond Island
This island has an official name, which is Khao Tapu, but ever since 1975 it has been known as "James Bond Island". I wished I had seen it from the air as in this picture taken from a tourist brochure. When you approach the island by boat you first only see a single big rock and it is only rather late that you realize that the island consists of 2 rocks, connected with a narrow sandy beach (1). This is always crowded with tourists, long-boats and vendors of souvenirs. Just opposite the beach there stands the small needle rock (2) that became one of the most photographed tourist attractions of Southern Thailand.

James Bond island: James Bond 007 Island
After having lunch at Koh Panyee, the next stop of our tour took us to Khao Ping Kan, more popularly known as "James Bond Island", as some parts of the film (The Man with the Golden Gun) was shot here in 1974. It was drizzling when we reached the island (well, it is the rainy season in Phuket, and we were considered lucky that it wasn't raining as heavily as the previous day!), but that failed to dampen our spirits. We braved the rain and took these pictures. There are some stalls that sold souvenirs on this small stretch of beach, most of them selling sea shells and jewelry fashioned from the shells. If you don't intend to buy, just ignore the sellers... I find them a tad aggressive on their selling tactics. One of them kept pulling my arm and asked me to visit her stall, although I told her that I wasn't interested. In the end, I just turned and walked off.

James Bond island: Tapu island is also called "James Bond Island"
Everyone has to go at least once. This is a major tourist trap where the vendors are overly aggressive.

James Bond island: James Bond Island
It has nothing special there but a rock "standing in the middle of the sea by itself. You'll SEE the rock from the beach (approx. 20 m away) and take pictures. That's is!However, i strongly recommend trip to James Bond Island trip, with kayaking type package. It's fun!

    James Bond island: The Man With The Golden....
    It is basically a very small island which held the shooting of the film James Bond : The Man with the golden gun, hence the name.Well nothing much to see here other than the picturesque view and of course stalls selling overpriced items to tourist.(refer to my Tourist Trap tips) Wouldnt really recommend,but most of the seacanoeing trip do stop over here.So,just have a look and snap some photos.

    Its a cutural theme park. Lots of souvenir shops and games await. The ticket can include dinner. Then you will see the Phuket Show. It's spectacular, acribatics, live elephants, amazing laser lights effect, rain, costumes and just the actors performing in the Kamala epic... It was truly unforgettable. There are lots of booking agents that can book you a ticket. Or you can just buy your ticket when you get there.

    James Bond island: Found the finger
    James is still missing, but we found the finger. Could this be the next Bond girl? Move over Brigitte Bardot

    James Bond island: The Man with the Golden Gun
    Koh Ping Kan, known as James Bond island just has to be seen. Used as Scaramangas island in the man with the golden gun, it is a port of call for every trip to Phang Nga bay which is an experience not to be missed. Ever resourceful, locals have set up stall on the beach at James Bond Island to tempt you with souvenirs..
