James Bond Island
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.

The bizarre – why-doesn’t-it-fall-over – outline of James Bond Island or Koh Tapu ('nail island' in Thai), lies next to the equally popular Koh Ping Ghan (sometimes spelled as Ping Gan or Ping Gun). The entire area surrounding this island is indeed spectacular.

Khao Phing Kan
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.

The tour is good. Tour guide speaks English fluently. So I understood about what she said.

Thank you.
It was a good experience.

Everyone was friendly even the tour guide. Canoe time is a bit too short, and it wasn’t as shown in the photos, we didn’t really go into the mangroves but just opposite of it. Duration is only less than 15 minutes.
Really good but could be improved

Really loved seeing the James Bond island and the beautiful views but felt the time was minimal for payee island.

The kayak was the best part and made the whole trip.
Don't book with OH-HOO!

I was a guest of the grand centara resort in Krabi, when you book online they state that they can pick you up at your hotel. 1 day before they call me to say that the pick up at my hotel is not included. So I had to contract a private boat to drop my at the Nopparat Thara pier for 1,500 baths and did the same thing on my way back. In total I waste an additional 3,000 bahts.
Since the beginning I also paid an extra to make the canoeing activity in this tour, and they told me many times that this one it was not included as well, at the end I managed to convince the staff but it was a very painful process fighting with the staff all the time.
And last but not least, in the online form they don’t include the speed boat option, only long tail boat which is less comfortable, I choosed this because I apparently had non option, but when I was there I realized that I could contract the speed boat, I wanted to change to that kind of boat and they did not allow me to change even if I was willing to pay the difference.

They even told me, “Mr. you need to check what you buy, it seems you never pay attention of what you hired”.
Everything besides this fight the tour was good, just try to avoid doing it with OH-HOO travel.
