The best that Thailand gives us is a lot of islands that do not repeat each other. Many of them are over 70 million years old. Koh Tapu Island has long forgotten its native name and is called James Bond Island. The most striking impression of Sean Connery's Bond in the Golden Gun movie is a rock island overgrown with forest.

Phang Nga province from Phuket can be reached by minibus (86 kilometers). And from there - by boat or boat to the islands themselves. The duration of the entire trip is usually one day.

Even if tourists drive on a boat or motor boat, this can lead to the fact that the base of the island is gradually washed out
