James Bond Island Thailand, famously featured in The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), is one of Thailand’s most iconic landmarks. Officially known as Koh Tapu, this striking limestone rock rises dramatically from the emerald-green waters of Phang Nga Bay, creating a scene straight out of a movie. Surrounded by towering cliffs and turquoise seas, it has become a must-visit destination for travelers exploring southern Thailand. Once a quiet fishing area, today it’s a highlight of Thailand tour packages for its cinematic beauty, fascinating geology, and romantic surroundings.
Visitors can enjoy sightseeing, kayaking through limestone caves, and island-hopping to nearby fishing villages. Its unique shape and movie legacy make it one of the most photographed spots in Thailand, attracting both adventurers and honeymooners alike who come to experience the magic of “007 Island” in real life.
James Bond Island is part of Ao Phang Nga National Park. The entry fee for foreigners is approximately THB 300 (₹700) per person, while Thai nationals pay around THB 60. Only cash payments are accepted, so plan accordingly.
