justified by the funny elongated and unbalanced shape. A tiny island next to it is where

dozens of longtail boats permanently disembark hordes of tourists for the usual.

attractions. You saw them in movies, even in Star Wars and James Bond. Phang Nga has

some landmarks, more or less attractive, but places are famous for a reason.The best

known is the intriguing ‘James Bond Island‘ famous for a movie that most people

nowadays haven’t even seen, called ‘The Man with the Golden Gun.
