Khao Tapu (James Bond Island), Ao Phang Nga National Park

Khao Tapu is a major tourist attraction in Phang Nga Province, renowned worldwide for being the filming location for the James Bond 007 movie "The Man with the Golden Gun." Originally part of an island, the island was eroded by waves, leaving it as a prominent rocky island with a narrow base and a larger top. It is located 15 kilometers from Ao Phang Nga National Park. It is mostly populated by tourists, and there are souvenir shops selling pearl jewelry. The park entrance fee is 60 baht for adults and 30 baht for children. The beautiful location offers numerous photo opportunities and great content creation. The water is crystal clear and suitable for swimming. Most tourists are swimming there. On our visit, we chartered a longtail boat, with a package that included four attractions, including Khao Tapu. The boat ride to Khao Tapu was quite long, but the natural scenery around the island made it feel like a short journey. There are some stairs along the way, so be careful. If you're in Phang Nga, consider stopping by to appreciate the natural beauty at Check out Khao Tapu. 📍Location: Ao Phang Nga National Park, Kalai Subdistrict, Takua Thung District, Phang Nga Province #AoPhangNgaNationalPark #AoPhangNga #KhaoTapu #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck

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!
