About the Tour Stops
Panak Island – Hidden Caves & Lagoons
Panak Island is one of the most captivating stops in Phang Nga Bay. The island hosts an extensive cave system with stalactites leading through sea caves into hidden lagoons – a natural wonder that most standard tours skip entirely.
James Bond Island (Khao Phing Kan & Khao Tapu)
Khao Tapu – the “nail island” – became world-famous as the filming location for The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) and is now the most recognised landmark in Phang Nga Bay. Khao Phing Kan is the main island, featuring caves, grottos, and dramatic cliff formations.
Koh Panyee – The Floating Fishing Village
Koh Panyee is a Muslim fishing community built entirely on stilts above the waters of Phang Nga Bay. Home to around 360 families, it features its own school, market, and waterfront restaurants. Lunch here is one of the most culturally authentic experiences in southern Thailand.

1 review for James Bond Island & Khai Island Tour Phuket – Phang Nga Bay, Cave Safari & Snorkeling
Lucas & Marie, Germany –
We had an amazing day exploring Phang Nga Bay! The boat was comfortable, and the guides were friendly and professional. The canoeing at Hong Island was a peaceful and unforgettable experience, and we loved seeing the limestone cliffs up close. Lunch at the floating village was tasty, though we would have liked a bit more time to explore. The visit to James Bond Island was fantastic, but it was quite crowded. Ending the tour at a relaxing beach was the perfect way to unwind. Overall, a must-do tour in Phuket!
