Detailed itinerary

Pick-up from various hotels in Phuket

Arrive at Phangan Pier (Khlong Khian Pier) and board a private long-tail boat

Phang Nga Bay found its way onto the tourist map through its starring role in the James Bond movie starring Roger Moore as 007 & is distinctive for its sheer limestone cliffs that jut vertically out of the crystal emerald-green water. Climb aboard a boat & voyage over to James Bond Island! Discover the famous James Bond Island (Khao Phing Kan), a very high leaning rock with tiny caves, where you can find stalls selling souvenirs mostly made from beautiful shells and wood. Walk around the James Bond Island and take a photo of Koh Tapu which also known as Nail Island or Spike Island. The limestone rock is around 20 meters tall with a diameter ranging from about 4 meters at the bottom and up to 8 meters at the top.
