James Bond Island, locally known as Koh Tapu, shot to fame in 1974 when it was featured in the classic 007 film, The Man with the Golden Gun. The island's unique shape and towering limestone cliffs made it the perfect backdrop for the movie — and since then, it has become a bucket-list destination for travelers worldwide.
Today, people from all over come to admire its cinematic beauty, take photos with the iconic rock formation, and explore the incredible natural scenery of Phang Nga Bay.
