Description
Embark on a journey to James Bond Island by big longtail boat and visit Wat Suwan Kuha Temple and Panyee floating village. Choose an optional kayak tour of the limestone karsts in Phang Nga Bay.
Following a pickup service from your hotel in Krabi, transfer to Phang Nga Bay by air-conditioned minivan to discover the famous filming locations of “The Man With the Golden Gun” in Phang Nga Bay.
Climb aboard a traditional longtail boat at Tadan Pier near Phang Nga Town and voyage over to James Bond Island. Phang Nga Bay became known through its starring role in the James Bond movie and is distinctive with its sheer limestone cliffs that jut vertically out of the crystal emerald-green water.
See the famous 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 James Bond Island and take a photo of the 20-meter-tall Koh Tapu, also known as Nail Island or Spike Island.
Continue to Thalu Island, where you can take a guided kayak tour along the mangrove river, the giant stalactite caves, and the limestone cliffs.
Stop for lunch in Panyee floating village. The natural island of Panyee is a towering vertical mass of limestone. Nearly all of the village sits atop a huge network of stilts that clings to the edge of the island’s coastline and stretches out over the sea in a maze of raised platforms and walkways.
Cruise back to the pier and make a last stop at Wat Suwan Kuha Temple, also known as Monkey Cave, and at Raman Waterfalls. Here you can take a swim and relax with an abundance of flora and fauna such as monkeys, deer, squirrels, and birds. Note that accessibility may vary depending on water levels and schedule.
Conclude your tour with a relaxing ride back to your hotel.
