About
Long before The Beach (2000) that drew massive crowds to Ko Phi Phi, there was Hollywood-in-Thailand OG James Bond – The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) – in Phang Nga Province. The movie made such an impact on this ecosystem that limestone outcrops Ko Khao Phing Kan and Ko Tapu are often jointly referred to as James Bond Island.
This tour by speedboat gets you on a swift water chase hot on the trail of villain Scaramanga who hides out in this tropical version of paradise. Bond fan or not, you can’t not enjoy this exotic adventure through caves, mangrove swamps and white-sand beaches. Local operators make sure to adjust the tour depending on the season to ensure you get to the best and least crowded sites at any given time of day.
“Kayaking in caves was a breathtaking (or hair-raising) experience, when hard rock embedded with sharp fossil shells pass above your face at some five centimetres while you lay on the kayak’s bottom!” – Acorna, Vilnius
