James Bond Island, locally known as Koh Tapu, is one of the most famous landmarks in Phang Nga Bay, Thailand. It gained international recognition after appearing in the 1974 James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun, starring Roger Moore. The island is best known for its unique limestone rock formation, which rises dramatically from the emerald-green waters, making it one of the most photographed spots in Thailand.
Located within Ao Phang Nga National Park, James Bond Island is often visited as part of a boat tour from Phuket, Krabi, or Phang Nga Town. The island itself is uninhabited, and landing on Koh Tapu is restricted to help preserve its delicate ecosystem. However, visitors can admire it from Khao Phing Kan, a nearby island that serves as the main stop for tours. Khao Phing Kan features impressive rock formations, small caves, and a sandy beach, where tourists can walk around and take in the stunning views of James Bond Island.
Beyond its cinematic fame, James Bond Island is a geological wonder, shaped by natural erosion over thousands of years. The base of the limestone rock is noticeably narrower than its top, giving it a striking, almost top-heavy appearance. Surrounding the island are towering cliffs, hidden caves, and calm waters, making the area a paradise for kayaking, sightseeing, and photography.
Most visitors explore James Bond Island as part of a Phang Nga Bay tour, which often includes stops at sea caves, floating fishing villages like Koh Panyee, and hidden lagoons. Some tours also offer canoeing experiences, allowing visitors to paddle through stunning limestone formations and into secluded lagoons. Whether you're a fan of the Bond movies or simply love breathtaking landscapes, James Bond Island is a must-visit destination in southern Thailand.
