James Bond Islands
Generally speaking, the right to carry the name of James Bond apply at once two islands in Thailand : one of them Ko Tapu and the second Khao Ping Kann.
Ko Tapu Island stands out among the rest, primarily in its shape and dimensions. The diameter of this pillar is about four meters. But the height of this magnificence is about twenty meters. The island of James Bond is very reminiscent of something like a wedge or a sliver, actually just like a "wedge" and the native name of the island is translated.
Surprisingly, there are still residents on the island. These are eagles, and still there are absolutely unique plants. For quite understandable reasons, our tourist will be more interested to know the answer to the question why such a high and seemingly unstable creation of nature has not yet fallen into the water. James Bond Island in Thailand is currently under protection, so no one will let you swim too close to him. That is why it was possible to maintain the height and stability of this limestone elevation, otherwise it would gradually start to go under the water.
On the island of Khao Ping Kann, they shot the last scenes of Bondiana. In translation, the name sounds like a "pair of hills". Indeed, in fact, these are the two islands that connect a narrow strip of sand. Here you can already swim to the shore, and even stroll through the caves or lie on the beach. From the island, tourists usually take away a lot of souvenirs bought at the fair there. There you can even eat or drink soft drinks. But remember that staying on the island will be no more than half an hour.

Staying on the island is no less memorable thanks to the beauties of the local flora. The highlight of the program is usually the crab-eating monkeys, which anyone will delight in watching. This is another memorable moment in the framework of a trip to the island of James Bond in Thailand.
If you are lucky, then during the trip to the island of Hong, you will go to the ebb. There in the grottoes there are very fascinating things that are hidden most of the time under the water. For example, incredible luck will be the opportunity to touch the statuette of the Buddha and make a wish.
