The trip on the boat was stunning but James Bond Island is like going out with a good looking woman only to find out she is a he - very disappointing ( not that I have had that experience). My wife, friend and myself actually did this trip about 14 years ago. The cruise was nice with great catering and... More

Well, we loved kayaking & cruising on sunny days. The Bay with fresh air and pure water that was an ideal place for us. The guide was so helpful by taking around and along the karsts & amazing limestones around. We had our time for diving and swimming there. A great time to have lunch & drinks. That was great... More

Phang Nga Bay on Phuket. A distinctive feature of Phang Nga Bay are the sheer limestone karsts that jut vertically out of the emerald-green water. James Bond Island and Koh Panyee are just two of the more famous spots in this bay. By far the best means of enjoying the spectacular scenery, with only brief encounters with the tourist crowds...

We explored Phang Nga Bay via Long-Tail Boat. From the pier, it was about a 30 minute boat ride to our first stop, Khao Phing Kan a.k.a. James Bond Island (as featured in The Man with the Golden Gun). Along the way, we were treated to views of amazing limestone cliffs and caves that jutted out of the sea. A... More

The Phang Nga Bay region includes over 30 islands in the archipelago, scattered around the Andaman coast between Phuket and Krabi. We went on several tours organised by our resort, and saw many other tour groups out there. Some locations were a bit busy with tourist boats, but hunt around the different tour operators as there are more than enough... More

We booked the full day tour of Phang Nga Bay, by very fast speedboat, with P.S.T. (Phuket Sail Tours). Mark and his crew were absolutely fantastic. Picked up very early (06:30), we arrived at the marina in the north of the Island and after briefing, we were led to the boat, which is very comfortable and fast!! Which means it... More

One of the best places I ever seen. The best excursion is Canoe, you will get in a slow boat, (better for your bones) and stop in certain places, with caves and incredible sights, and lots of canoes will wait for you and take you to the adorable places. You don't make any effort. You just ENJOY, this INCREDIBLE, out... More

You must see this area with Mark and crew from PST. A great day out respecting and learning about Thai history and landmarks. Amazing places to see.

We went to Phang-Nga Bay with a tour. The experience was excellent: we visit the James Bond Island, canoe in Koh Panak and Koh Hong (were we had sometimes only 20-40cm to pass throught the caves;) ) and finally snorkel at Lawa island. The scenario was amazing. The only bad thing was the weather, it rained for about 2 hours... More
