Dream Come True: 2 Days of Bliss on Phi Phi and James Bond Islands

While staying in Phuket, it's a must to visit the nearby islands – Phi Phi and James Bond. Opting for a 2-day tour is the best choice – you'll get more impressions, and it's much more convenient than exploring on your own. I had an incredible time on this short voyage 💎 🩵 We departed from the island on a speedboat, with snorkeling along the way. It's amazing to observe the marine world and all the secrets it holds! 🩵 We visited Maya Bay, where the movie "The Beach" was filmed. Unfortunately, swimming there is not allowed, but you can (and should!) take stunning photos. 🩵 We stayed overnight on Phi Phi in a decent hotel. In the evening, we got to witness an impressive fire show 🔥 🩵 James Bond Island is a unique rock formation rising from the water. It gained fame thanks to the movie "The Man with the Golden Gun."

Chaithararam Temple - Wat Chalong

Just spent a dreamy few days bouncing between Takua Thung and Phuket 🏝️🌅 — think crystal-clear water, epic views, and jaw-dropping temples! If you love swimming and island-hopping, this itinerary absolutely delivers. Top Spots to Visit: 1. Ko Tapu (James Bond Island), Krasom Subdistrict, Takua Thung — Famous for its movie cameo! Open 8:00–17:00 daily, get there early for less crowds and those crazy scenic selfies. 2. Khao Phing Kan, Phang Nga — Explore caves and beaches, open 9:00–21:00. Perfect for swimming and admiring those limestone cliffs. 3. Chaithararam Temple – Wat Chalong, Chao Fah Tawan Tok Rd, Phuket — Cultural must-see, open 8:00–17:00 year-round. Respect dress code, keep shoulders and knees covered. 4. The Big Buddha, Phuket — Hike up for panoramic island views and calm vibes. 5. 333 At The Beach, Kamala — Delicious Thai food right on the sand! Try the Pad Thai and mango sticky rice, 333/3 Moo 3, Kamala, Kathu. 6. Twinpalms MontAzure Phuket, Kamala — Swanky stay! Super friendly staff, dreamy pools and a spa. Room tip: Ask about humidity control when checking in. Getting Around: Rent a scooter for max freedom, or use local taxis/Grab for short hops. Longtail boats are the move for island trips — bargain a little before you set sail! Food & Tip-Offs: Eat beachfront whenever possible! Simple tip: Bring swim gear (every spot is a swim opportunity). Sunscreen is a must. Cash is still king for smaller vendors. Phuket’s weather is warm year-round, but expect epic sunsets especially in Nov–Apr. Find deals on hotels and tickets via trip.com for smooth planning! #PhuketParadise #JamesBondIsland #WatChalong #BeachLife #tripdotcom
