Take Photos of the Iconic James Bond Island

James Bond Island is one of the most iconic islands in Phang Nga Bay and it is one that people like to visit from all over, even from places as far as Phuket and Krabi. James Bond Island or Tapu Island as it is known locally is a tall and narrow limestone island in a shape of a nail ("tapu" means nail in Thai) as in construction nails, caused by millions of years of erosion by the ocean at its base forming the nail-shaped island we see today.

The island was also featured in the 1974 James Bond movie, hence why it is also known as James Bond Island. It is a beautiful and unique place to see and it is predicted that the island might soon collapse due to the ongoing erosion at its base, so check it out while you can. At James Bond Island, you will also find the leaning mountains or Khao Pingkun, 2 pieces of massive rocks leaning and supporting each other creating a small cave you can walk in between.
