Incredible JAMES BOND ISLAND Boat Tour (Things To Do In Phuket) šŸ‡¹šŸ‡­

James Bond island is one of the most popularĀ  tourist spots in the whole of Thailand but isĀ Ā  it a must visit I find out today as I take a boatĀ  tour through the incredible Phang Nga Bay let’s do

It right I think this is our driver sĀ  cab personal little boat just me whatĀ Ā  is your name his name I’m Joe copĀ  C nice to meet you okay let’s get on all right we’re in all to ourself thankĀ  you thank you copc con cab here we go we’reĀ Ā 

Off all right guys whilst we’re on our way toĀ  jemes bond Island through the stunning pangaĀ Ā  Bay let me tell you a few other details soĀ  you can book this trip too I found this tourĀ Ā  online it’s a tour organized by a very veryĀ  friendly lady called Hannah and don’t worryĀ Ā 

I’ll leave a link in the description so youĀ  can book the exact same tour I contacted herĀ Ā  online and organized to meet her at the pier itĀ  was all super super easy you can actually takeĀ Ā 

The tour to James Bond Island from puket but IĀ  chose to ride here so I could see samit nangiĀ Ā  too and it is worth doing that the price of theĀ  boat was 2,000 Baht and that can be for four toĀ Ā 

Five people so the more you have obviously theĀ  cheaper it is but as you guys know I’m alone soĀ Ā  it is a private tour for me have two Tri optionsĀ  which both include James Bond Island and I choseĀ Ā 

T b anyway we’re nearly at the first stop JamesĀ  Bond Island I think we’re arriving at our firstĀ Ā  stop or as it’s more famously known James BondĀ  Island and this isn’t actually the famous partĀ Ā  of it but it’s pretty impressive I must sayĀ  huge cast Limestone Mountain and as he Ms upĀ Ā 

I’m wondering what’s going to happen because IĀ  stupidly didn’t wear flip flops today I’ve gotĀ Ā  my shoes on so let’s see how this happensĀ  it looks like there’s steps might be all right try all right welcome first stop andĀ  this is where we have to pay an extra 300Ā Ā 

Baht for the luxury of visiting a national parkĀ  but if you’re tie lucky lucky you only get toĀ Ā  pay 60 baht this island is famous because itĀ  appeared in a James Bond film The Man with aĀ Ā 

Golden gun in the’ 70s and a famous rock calledĀ  was made famous by a scene in that movie so nowĀ Ā  obviously it’s a popular tourist attraction andĀ  that’s why we’re here that’s why it’s the first stop yeah we definitely didn’tĀ  avoid the tourists but that’sĀ Ā 

Part of it here it is Kor Tapo lookĀ  at that perfectly framed within the trees there it is James Bond Island and to beĀ  honest I don’t really know what to think of itĀ Ā  I mean it’s no more and no less stunning thanĀ  any other of the cliffs and rocks and mountainsĀ Ā 

In this incredible pangar Bay but I get it it’sĀ  famous it’s uh it’s in a movie that’s why peopleĀ Ā  want to see it why people want to come but isĀ  it worth 300 B to come and see to get off theĀ Ā 

Boat if you don’t get off the boat you don’tĀ  pay 300 Baht I guess you could like this boatĀ Ā  is more out opposite it so to be honest it’s notĀ  about the money I’m just it’s about looking atĀ Ā 

It and pure beauty and it is unique because it’sĀ  eroded away at the bottom it looks like a bit ofĀ Ā  a chicken leg or a chicken wing as it is fatter atĀ  the top and narrows at the bottom as the water hasĀ Ā 

Eroded it and I guess the water will continueĀ  to erode it so how long it has left who knowsĀ Ā  and then what will this island do but there isĀ  no doubt and there is no denying that the areaĀ Ā  Pang Bay even just coming here is absolutelyĀ  breathtaking like jaw dropping spectacular andĀ Ā 

Already I think the tour is worth it just forĀ  seeing this unique landscape but of course asĀ Ā  you’d expect it is a massive Instagram and selfieĀ  spot you have people taking photos in front ofĀ Ā  the rock people in the water taking photos inĀ  front of the rock doing the gun sign the JamesĀ Ā 

B gun sign so look if you’re talking aboutĀ  having fun and enjoying yourself it’s worth it so I’ve just walked around the corner toĀ  see what else there was and I found this it’sĀ Ā  called cow ping can and for me personally it’sĀ  even more impressive than the James Bond IslandĀ Ā 

Rock it’s where a huge slice of rock has slippedĀ  down the cliff and rested in a leaning positionĀ Ā  and and it just looks amazing it has a sheerĀ  flat side obviously the more Jagged side onĀ Ā  the other side but it’s cre this like thisĀ  cave and different colors it’s like stripeĀ Ā 

Red white and black which is quite cool butĀ  for me this is more impressive and no one’sĀ Ā  really interested in it no interested in JamesĀ  Bond Island which is fair enough well I thinkĀ Ā 

Overall I enjoyed that a lot more than I did whenĀ  I first got here and I first saw the rock thereĀ Ā  a little bit more to Island and overall it’sĀ  a nice stop but it is busy anyway the eagleĀ Ā 

Eyed amongst you might notice I look a littleĀ  different so let’s come clean literally almostĀ Ā  clean shaven my Razor broke and I bought a newĀ  one yesterday so I used it for the first timeĀ Ā  this morning and normally when I trim my beardĀ  I trim it on setting number three but I didn’tĀ Ā 

Really think it’s a different brand so I put itĀ  on number three and went and I was like oh thatĀ Ā  is almost took everything off but when you doĀ  that you have to do the whole thing so yeahĀ Ā 

I’m back to like baby stubble now like two daysĀ  after shaving which looks terrible so yeah if IĀ Ā  look slightly different that’s why but I’ll growĀ  it back unless you prefer it like this oh man IĀ Ā 

Can believe it this morning but it it won’tĀ  take long just a few days and it’ll be backĀ Ā  anyway I thought I thought I’d tell you guysĀ  that anyway right now it really is back to the

[Music] boat okay guys our next stop is HongĀ  Island and this is where we get to get off andĀ Ā  go on a canoe okay just got off the boat ontoĀ  this little raft I guess and I thought I wasĀ Ā 

Going to be caring on my own but actually I’mĀ  going to have a tour guide who is going to beĀ Ā  caring for me so I get to relax make the videoĀ  for you guys guys and enjoy the views and myĀ Ā 

Tour guide is going to be sky here soap sky soĀ  he is going to have the pleasure of escortingĀ Ā  us around Hong Island so let’s go this man hasĀ  the pleasure of trying to make sure I don’t fall

Ino Okay C can I go and take a video for you CHĀ  you can hold it go go go go with you uh you can ifĀ Ā  you want we got we got two tour guys now two forĀ  the price won he he just couldn’t resist being on

YouTube so now you can tell me about Hong IslandĀ  this is H Island both Hong island or just thisĀ Ā  one Hong Island and this one and this one isĀ  not is not Hong this is not okay so this oneĀ Ā 

Is called Hong Island and this one is called notĀ  Hong Island yeah very very beautiful really tallĀ Ā  dramatic Cliffs with the vegetation on it but whatĀ  I love the thing I love most is the underneathĀ Ā  where the cliffs have eroded and you get theseĀ  little caves these Nooks these crannies and whatĀ Ā 

Better way to experience it and to see it thanĀ  being ridden around on a little canoe cannot get better okay I thought I was going to get a freeĀ  nice and easy ride but it didn’t take long forĀ Ā 

Him to give me the yours so now I’m the tour guideĀ  and they’re going to be giving me the money 300 bar it’s always better when you have to workĀ  for it yourself isn’t it oh but it is so beautiful especially in this late afternoonĀ  always the best time of day to come

Out it’s good ah we’re going to go in a caveĀ  yeah this one here yeah excellent any bats noĀ Ā  okay have nothing nothing yeah don’t need toĀ  be scared then actually I don’t mind bats theyĀ Ā  just smell wow look at the colors here black redĀ  white sandy color these cast Limestone Cliffs are

Incredible this one we call it James B RockĀ  number two James B ah did they film here asĀ Ā  well yeah okay so this is Jame James BondĀ  Rock number two doing all right yeah sa

M right in we go to the cave it’s going toĀ  get a bit dark and the GoPro is not good inĀ Ā  low light but what I am coming woo echo echoĀ  what is this cave called This is a dark caveĀ Ā 

Dark cave yeah d o d o dog ah dog cave yeah andĀ  as we come out I think going to get a nice viewĀ Ā  he’s living the life here he’s meant to beĀ  working look at that for a view what a viewĀ Ā 

Look at the look at the dog on the top you seeĀ  that have a little rock look like a dog I don’tĀ Ā  see it yes the there’s a tiny little rock upĀ  here which looks like a dog there you go soĀ Ā 

It is worth having some people here to tellĀ  you that’s pretty cool and that is why it’sĀ Ā  called Dog cave beautiful it is so peaceful we’reĀ  out of the wind the water is flat calm and it isĀ Ā 

Well other than him oring if that’s even a verbĀ  paddling in the water so peaceful look at this uhoh that is spectacular we had dog Rock we nowĀ  have chicken Rock what do you reckon looks like a

Chicken I think you can see oh yeah they have haveĀ  a different color TR oh yeah yeah yeah see littleĀ Ā  coral one one and red one but you can also seeĀ  this white line you can see where the tide comesĀ Ā 

To this is the tide line so right now the tideĀ  is lower and it comes all the way up here and youĀ Ā  telling me the tide difference between high tideĀ  and low tide is 4 M it’s quite a big tide you canĀ Ā 

See can see where it comes to on here you haveĀ  little cave system running all the way along it [Music] oh 0:11:58.960,1193:02:47.295 [Applause] wow that is special and we’re very very lucky to be ableĀ  to come in here guys because obviously it’sĀ Ā 

Tidal if the water is too high you can’tĀ  come in you can’t get through the cave andĀ Ā  sometimes well not sometimes but when it’sĀ  low tide there is no water at all so onlyĀ Ā 

Twice a day can you come in here and right nowĀ  is one of those lucky times and this might beĀ Ā  might be we haven’t finished the tour yetĀ  but this might be the coolest part of the tour

Just telling me this is a special place becauseĀ  the sky where the leaves are looks like a heartĀ Ā  and it does cannot deny that you cut themĀ  like this no yeah of course you do look atĀ Ā 

That face we can’t do that we can’t everythingĀ  what do you reckon guys do you reckon they cutĀ Ā  them to look like that there is no way thoseĀ  everything in this island is Nal stay growingĀ Ā 

Like that I’m calling it now Hong Island mightĀ  be the best part of the tour and Hong IslandĀ Ā  isn’t included in trip a so if you’re decidingĀ  between trip a and trip B I think trip B shouldĀ Ā  be the winner because the other one takesĀ  you to the floating village which is coolĀ Ā 

But come on you cannot beat this beauty allĀ  right we’re going to try try and go throughĀ Ā  this one have to lie down what about you canĀ  we do it he is professional he is professionalĀ Ā 

Oh my God he’s very close yeah is close oh weĀ  made it we made it he me what an attractive view what a little boat ride and I mustĀ  admit I was think thinking why can’t IĀ Ā 

Do this Tour on my own but you can’tĀ  it is worth having a guide to go intoĀ Ā  these little cool hidden places aroundĀ  Hong Island and if you can’t have oneĀ Ā  guide take two all right try and get offĀ  with a bit of Grace whoa we did it we did

It bye-bye cap he just straight off againĀ  great little tour love it loved it loved itĀ Ā  loved it thank you C thank you c copcn c I canĀ  say that word I was thinking bye-bye C rightĀ Ā 

Back on dry land and as you can tell I reallyĀ  enjoyed that toour you can actually stop andĀ Ā  swim here but like a muppet I didn’t bring myĀ  swimming trunks and I’m not going to go in inĀ Ā 

My underwear not very classy is it but but yeahĀ  really enjoyed that little kayak tour it is 400Ā Ā  b not 300 B like I initially thought but IĀ  think it’s worth it and it is worth havingĀ Ā 

A guide to tell you a little bit about theĀ  island and the and the caves and the littleĀ Ā  inlets and that in that inner Lagoon was so coolĀ  so beautiful anyway I’m not sure what’s left onĀ Ā 

This tour I think there might be one more spotĀ  let’s go find out bye-bye C okay byebye byebye We’re just arriving at our final spotĀ  which is a cave and you can see theĀ Ā  steps up so I’m going to have to climbĀ  off onto a wooden ladder and up into the

Cave [Music] okay we’re on just m the boat up toĀ  the side here let’s go up and have a look in thisĀ Ā  cave oh wow I’ve not seen structures like thatĀ  before it’s like basins almost like the basinsĀ Ā 

Used when a baby is baptized and it’s steppedĀ  up to side against these huge stall tights weĀ Ā  are actually the only ones here just got aĀ  giving us a little torch as we can come inĀ Ā  because it’s a little dark wow the color ofĀ  this rock here white green red just look atĀ Ā 

The folds and the shapes and here they do lookĀ  like figures we can go up the wooden ladder soĀ Ā  let’s go up famous famous last words w weĀ  made it that was actually more sketchy thanĀ Ā 

I thought almost slipped at one point which isĀ  why you saw the camera on the floor anyway itĀ Ā  looks like a waterfall of stall ties flowingĀ  down through the cave I mean it is amazingĀ Ā  it’s like Big Basins almost like birds nestĀ  you know you see some birds that make theirĀ Ā 

Nests on the side of a house and they have thisĀ  like muddy structure it’s a little bit like thatĀ Ā  I mean to be honest not sure if I shouldĀ  be climbing these but he told me to comeĀ Ā 

Up and it’s uh it’s too late now and it’s quiteĀ  cool to explore I must say but I’m not sure howĀ Ā  I’m going to get down without breaking my legĀ  we’ll find a way we’ll find a way all right weĀ Ā 

Found the bats could smell them before before IĀ  found them all right guys back down and back outĀ Ā  safely that was quite a cool cave I mean someĀ  caves are a bit Bland but that one definitelyĀ Ā 

Had a lot going for it and as I said totallyĀ  empty only person here must be off the beatenĀ Ā  path cave which is a cool thing about this tourĀ  that is all of the stops on the tour completedĀ Ā 

Now so I really had fun on the Tor thank you soĀ  much for watching hope you enjoyed the [Music] video

In this video I take a boat tour through Phang Nga Bay and visit James Bond Island! You can take this full day boat tour to James Bond Island from Phuket Thailand or go to Phang Nga Bay and take it from a small pier there. Of course it will be cheaper to go from Phang Nga as James Bond Island is cheaper. James Bond Island is one of the most popular tourist spots in Thailand, made famous from being in the movie James Bond The Man With The Golden Gun in the 1970s. Now everyone wants to add James Bond Island to their Phuket Itinerary. But the question is, is visiting James Bond Island worth it and what is the best way to visit James Bond Island?

Watch the video to find out if the James Bond Island Day Trip is worth taking.

  3. 300 baht to see a chicken drum stick in the wateršŸ˜‚. I'd pass . Plenty of other things that are just if not more impressive JoešŸ‘mother nature is pretty amazing

  4. Ok, Hercules, pushing back the rock is impressive. As I mentioned before, you do look like a Greek god, I wasn't wrong. 😁. BTW, you look so much better w/o facial hair, Joe. šŸ˜‰
