Khao Phing Kan or Ko Khao Phing Kan is an island in Thailand, in Phang Nga Bay northeast of Phuket. About 40 metres from the shores of Khao Phing Kan lies a 20-metre tall islet called Ko Ta Pu or Ko Tapu. The islands are limestone karst towers and are a part of Ao Phang Nga National Park.
Ko Panyi, also known as Koh Panyee, is a fishing village in Phang Nga Province, Thailand, notable for being built on stilts by Malay fishermen. The population consists of 360 families or 1,685 people descended from two seafaring Muslim families from Java.
Wat Tham Suwan Khuha is an ancient archaeological and historical temple. The temple is located within a mountain with many large and small caves lined up next to each other. Each cave has different names such as Tham Yai, Tham Chaeng, Tham Dark, etc. The historical part of Wat Tham Suwan Khuha is a cave that in the past many kings and royal families had visited.
James Bond Island is a famous landmark in Phang Nga Bay. It first found its way onto the international tourist map through its starring role in the James Bond movie, The Man with the Golden Gun. A distinctive trait of this famous bay is the number of sheer limestone cliffs that vertically jut out of the emerald-green water.

A must when you are in khao lak. Experience all different activities throughout the day. Charly was the best.
We arrived at James Bond early ahead of crowds our guide Thani was brilliant in taking lots of photos for us with different poses for where we were. I would maybe suggest that when you send reminder of things you need to bring to remind customers of coverings for the Temple Sea canoe great rowers bit pushy for tips
Well organized and a fantastic way to enjoy the sights outside Khao Lak. Was everything we expected in air conditioned comfort. Guide was amazing and went the extra mile to make sure everyone had a great day
a tour to a famous place, James Bond Island. It is well managed by Rangers and the tourism industry but now so over visited it feels like a conveyor belt. We were really lucky to go in quiet season and so no crowds, but I would recommend heading up into Khao Sok or another place for amazing limestone formations. Our guide (Marta) kept us on time and knowing what we needed to do, but there was virtually no interpretation or passion about the place.
We had a really fantastic day, our guide Boom was brilliant, full of fun information and always on hand to help. We personally loved feeding the monkeys and the beauty of the boat ride to James Bond.
Nice views, guide was friendly and engaging. Lots to see, it felt a bit rushed. Maybe because their was a lot to see. Other then that was brilliant
Our guide, Boom was very knowledgeable and helpful. Went above and beyond taking loads of pictures and brought props; also had rain gear for us.

He truly loves taking care of our guests, and we’re happy you appreciated his knowledge, helpfulness, and extra effort. We will be sure to share your kind words with him.

Our guide Charlie was amazing!! She was very knowledgeable and fun! It was a long day filled with fun adventures! The canoe trip was so fun and interesting. I absolutely loved the monkeys at the monkey temple. Be careful if you buy the food, they can see it even if you are hiding it and smell it and will surround you. Would highly recommend!

Thank you for sharing the helpful tip about the monkeys as well; we are sure future guests will appreciate it.
