If you’ve ever dreamed of traveling to the beautiful location from your favorite James Bond movie, The Man with the Golden Gun, the good news is you no longer have to dream. Just like Bond himself, this resplendent location could never possibly go out of style.

This famed location is in the Phang Nga Bay in Thailand, iconic for the numerous limestone vertices jutting upward from sparkling emerald waters. Surreal yet sublime all in one, the waters surrounding the island (called Koh Tapu, or Nail Island) can get very popular during tourist season.

The only way to access it is by boat from the Phang Nga Bay, an area that covers about 400 square kilometers that is peppered with around 100 different islands, each more beautiful than the last. However, it is James Bond Island that is the biggest draw here, many thanks to the publicity from the movie. The rocky summit is easy to spot from afar, delighting tourists from around the world. Because of its top-heavy design, it is under the protection of the national parks which means no boats are permitted to get too close.

As mentioned, if you want to get up close to see it, a boat will take you as close as you are allowed to get. Or you can see it from Koh Ping Ghan, another high-leaning rock with some small caves to poke around and explore. It’s here where you can get some fascinating souvenirs to remember your travels to James Bond Island.

You don’t have to come all the way out here just to spy though. You can get in on the action as only Bond himself would be proud. Many of the tours you’ll find that take you to James Bond Island will combine it with stops at other islands that feature activities like kayaking and sailing among other things. Taking a boat tour to visit James Bond Island while you’re in Thailand is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see some of the most incredible natural sights the world has to offer. Don’t miss it when you’re visiting “The Land of Smiles.”
