We love Krabi province and its more than 200 islands!\nBut we also like to discover and show you other beaches and less known places located in neighboring provinces: because variety is the spice of life!<\/p>\n\n

We have the great pleasure to introduce you to the iconic James Bond Island in Thailand, situated in the magical province of Phang Nga!<\/p>\n\n

Phang Nga is one of the 77 provinces in Thailand, which lies between the provinces of Krabi and Phuket.\nDid you know that about 10,000 years ago, when sea levels were lower, it was possible to walk from Phuket to Krabi?<\/p>\n\n

On August 14, 2002, the Phang Nga Bay National Marine Park was declared under the category of \"Ramsar\", due to its international ecological importance.\nPhang Nga Bay has 400 km2 and 42 islands, comprising shallow marine waters and intertidal wetlands, with at least 28 species of mangroves, seabeds and coral reefs. Fascinating!<\/p>\n\n\n

But this is not all, in our James Bond Island tour by speedboat from Krabi; this popular island is just one more place within this fabulous National Park that we want to show you!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

<\/p>\nBesides James Bond Island, we will also visit the islands of Koh Yao Noi and Hong Islands, also known for their wild nature, and\u2026 We don't want you to miss them!<\/p>\n\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAt Thalassa Tour we have proposed that you can experience this James Bond Island trip without many crowds of people, and that is why we have planned our James Bond Island tour by speedboat, at the best time, when there are not many boats, so you can fully experience it with more privacy.

<\/p>\nWe would like to remark something very important, we organize small or semi-private groups in all our boat excursions, using spacious and semi-new boats, so that you have plenty of space and feel at home!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In our James Bond Island tour by speedboat, we will see this famous island from the boat, so that we can dedicate more time on getting to know and explore other lesser-known sites of Phang Nga Bay, such as Koh Yao Yai (Long Island) and Koh Yao Noi, and in the province of Krabi, the stunning Hong Islands.<\/p>\n\n

During this James Bond Island trip, we will visit unspoiled beaches, caves accessible only at low tide, and we will have lunch, of course, in one of these beaches away from the outside world!<\/p>\n\n

The landscape you will find in our James Bond Island trip, is completely different to anything you have seen before: emerald waters, sea caves, hidden bays, semi-deserted beaches, mangrove shores, jungle, ancient trees... \nWe will go to those beaches where other James Bond Island tours don\u2019t go!\n

<\/p>\nThis James Bond Island tour is an explosive combination, which will surprise you!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

James Bond Island in Thailand is undoubtedly the most famous island in Phang Nga Bay.
The James Bond Island is a limestone rock formation in the Andaman Sea; about 200 m high, and shaped like a \u201cmonolith\u201d.<\/p>

This island appeared in one of the James Bond 007 movies: \u201cThe Golden Gun\u201d, in 1974, with Roger Moore as the lead actor.
Thanks to this movie, this island became even more popular!<\/p>

Phang Nga Bay holds a unique charm for its landscapes of infinite limestone cliffs, which have raised the interest of many, for example this amazing bay was also part of one of the sagas of \"Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith\", in which the bay was used as the main photograph of the planet Kashyyyk.<\/p>

For all this, today millions of tourists come to James Bond Island every year to photograph it, so it is not a very quiet destination, and this is why we also want to show you other much more quite islands, within the provinces of Krabi and Phang Nga.
You have to know our James Bond Island Tour by speedboat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You can go from Phuket to James Bond Island by long tail boat, or you can make the tour from Krabi in our speedboat.
The difference is very simple, if you start the tour from Phuket, you will miss the beautiful area of Koh Yao and Hong Islands, since they are very far from Phuket, whereas if you join our trip from Krabi, you will have the chance to visit these astonishing islands.<\/p>

We will use a speedboat rather than a long tail boat, because the distances are longer, and since we will visit almost 3 provinces in 1 day, we will need some time!
Do you still need more reasons to join us? Then keep reading\u2026<\/p>

James Bond Island tour is one of the most touristic excursions in Thailand, so you may be wondering\u2026
How to get to James Bond Island from Krabi? And better yet, How to visit them without crowds?<\/p>

On our Semi Private Tour to James Bonds Island, you will be able to live the experience with all privacy; we will visit the island outside the peak hours. \nIn the busiest hours, we will go to the islands of Phang Nga and Krabi provinces: Koh Hong and Koh Yao Noi, islands not so popular, but with equal natural beauty!
Another of the great differences between our boat tours and another James Bond Island tours is that we don\u2019t go to the James Bond Island by road, our tour is by speedboat from Krabi (Ao Nang) during the whole trip, which allows us to enjoy the landscapes and to experience closely the Andaman sea. \nThose 3 or 4 hours that you must do by road, we offer them to you by sea!
Our James Bond Island tour will be performed by speedboat from Ao Nang, making different stops during the trip, so you will know in depth Phang Nga Bay and Krabi\u00b4s islands.

<\/p>\nWe consider that you should know other islands (around James Bond area), more beautiful and wild to visit, and also much less touristic.

<\/p>\nWe can proudly state that the itinerary we offer in our James Bond Island trip is unique in all Krabi and carried out exclusively by Thalassa Tour, since other James Bond Island tours, usually go from Krabi to Phang Nga by car (about 1 hour and 30 minutes), and thus the impressive Hong Islands and Koh Yao Noi are left behind.

<\/p>\nThis is why we don\u2019t do the James Bond Island tour by long tail boat, because we will not have enough time to visit all these beautiful islands!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In Thailand it is very common to name the islands according to the shape they have, so, many years ago they decided that this limestone rock looked like a nail (in Thai \u201ctapu\u201d), and hence James Bond Island is known among locals as Koh Tapu.<\/p>\n\n

During our James Bond Island boat tour, we will stop the boat in the sea, right in front of Koh Tapu, finding the best angle for you to take the best possible pictures!<\/p> \n\n\n

As James Bond is an overcrowded island, the government of Thailand decided to create an artificial beach around James Bond Island, where you can find many souvenir shops. \nThis is why you may find queues of an hour to take the usual photo of James Bond Island.<\/p>\n\n\n

In our James Bond Island tour by speedboat, we will not have to wait, we will be able to see the island perfectly from the boat, from where you can take as much photos as you wish, without queuing and therefore without stress or haste.\n

<\/p>\n\nHence, we can invest our time in other spectacular and not so busy islands around Phang Nga Bay and Krabi, such as Hong Islands and Koh Yao Noi, authentic hidden treasures in the middle of the Andaman Sea!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Koh Yao or Long Island consists of two main islands located between Phuket\nand Krabi: Koh Yao Yai ("yai" means big), and Koh Yao Noi ("noi" means\nsmall).
To the north of Koh Yao, we will visit with our speedboat, Koh Yao Noi, the\nsmallest and most beautiful!<\/p>

In the several beaches that we will visit around Koh Yao, you will be able to\nenjoy moments to relax or take a bath, and without forgetting a delicious\nas Thai\ndishes buffet style, all this will be waiting for you on the beach after your bath!!!
This moment is one of the highlights of our James Bond Island tour!<\/p>

Koh Yao is the ideal island to admire the heart of the beautiful and particular\nPhang Nga Bay.
The landscape is formed by hundreds of limestone formations of all possible\nshapes and heights, and surrounded by small lonely beaches, including Koh Ku\nDu Lek and Tree Bay.
Tree Bay is a quiet beach with huge old trees!<\/p>

In addition, if we have good weather, we will visit a very peculiar island, called Koh Roy, which you can only enter inside when the tide goes out, through a cave!\n

<\/p>The funny thing about, it is that depending on the sea level at the time we go inside, you can enter walking or swimming!<\/p>

The funny thing about, it is that depending on the sea level at the time we go\ninside, you can enter walking or swimming!\nOnce inside you will discover a huge mangrove forest floating on the emerald\nwater surrounded by cliffs.
Furthermore, you will witness an amazing natural phenomenon that only occurs\non this Koh Yao Noi Island, a surprise that will be revealed when you see it with\nyour own eyes!<\/p>

We can assure you without any doubt, that you have never seen a place as picturesque and different as this one!<\/p>

The mangrove is the only tree, which can survive in seawater!
They breathe using their roots when they are exposed at low tide, absorbing\noxygen through their pores.
Mangroves protect coastal areas from erosion, hurricanes and tsunamis.
As well\nas playing a key role of the ecosystem of this region as they serve as home for\nmany marine species.<\/p>

In Thailand, after the Tsunami in 2004, the Government planted thousands of mangroves around the coastal area in order to protect the coastline. Currently the Government of Thailand protects these trees.\n

<\/p>\nYou will not see this kind of landscape anywhere else in Thailand!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Impressive group of islands in Krabi, with a beautiful lagoon: the famous Hong Islands Lagoon, a natural pool surrounded by limestone cliffs and mangrove tress!\nWe will try to arrive at the best time, to make sure there are not many boats.<\/p>\n\n

Also, if we are lucky, we will find bats inside Hong Islands!!! <\/p>\n\n\n

During the day they sleep and rest in the trees around Krabi islands, such as in Koh Hong Lagoon! And at dusk they head to mainland to eat fruits and coming back home before dawn...\n

<\/p>\nAre you ready for this adventure? With Thalassa Tour you will feel like James Bond on a secret mission!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
