James Bond Island: Thailand’s Iconic Seascape

#summervacay James Bond Island, or Koh Tapu, is one of Thailand’s most famous landmarks thanks to its appearance in the 1974 film The Man with the Golden Gun. Located in Phang Nga Bay, this dramatic limestone islet rises sharply from emerald-green waters, creating a surreal and striking view. The surrounding bay is just as stunning, with towering cliffs, hidden caves, and calm waters perfect for kayaking. While the island itself is small, the journey there usually by longtail boat is what makes the experience unforgettable. It’s a must-see if you’re visiting Phuket or Krabi and want a mix of adventure and scenery that feels straight out of a movie.
