James Bond Island, Phuket


Phuket is popular with tourist because of one of the James Bond movie - The Man with Golden The Gun was shoot here. So it is must in your itineary to visit the marine park of Ao Phangnga aka James Bond Island.

Instead of signing up with local tours we decided to hire our own boat - why? Simply because we are bunch of weird people and hate joining the crowd..LOL!!! Of course not, we just want to have different experience all together.


We drove to Sam Chong Seafood after reading the do-it-yourself tour from Jamie's Phuket Blog. We had our lunch there and asked the restaurant to arrange the boat for us. 


Here come our lovely boat - The Long Tail Boat. We paid about RM180 for the whole afternoon.

Our first time with long tail boat. To win win and C, Phuket is like their second home- they come here on yearly basis sometimes even twice a year. But this is their first time of these lovely couple joining us to tour the James Bond Island.

The boat come with self painted Manchester United logo. We felt like a bunch of MU fans going on holiday trip to Phuket ..@@

The famous rock where everyone take picture with. Nature itself is magnificent- just look at how these beautiful large rock appear in the middle of nowhere. Enjoying view like this simply make one feel extremely  calm and relaxing.


After spending about an hour or so, the boater took us to the other side of the island. 

The other side of the island where most of the tourist boat off load the passenger here. 

We enjoyed the scenery as we climb the stairs to the other side of the island.

Beautiful rock formations found here.

We spent about an hour here before leaving the island.

When we about to leave we found another DIY route suggested by the park - how interesting!
