The James Bond series of movies were filmed here, so Kaopingan Island is called 007 Island or James Bond Island. Khao Ping Gan means "mountain of confrontation" in Thai. Among them, "Khao" means "mountain" in Thai. The name of Tapu Island, which is not far away, means "nail" in Thai. It is named because it looks like a nail standing upright in the sea. This was the filming location for the 1974 James Bond movie "The Man with the Golden Gun". Since then, as the movie has become famous, outsiders often call it James Bond Island. There are shopping streets on the island, which are suitable for swimming. The beach and independent boulders at low tide are a great location for shooting. Bring your dresses and bikinis for sunny weather. Extremely high production rate.
