Phuket
Phang Nga (James Bond) and Koh Pannyi (Sea Gypsy) Islands
Phang Nga or James Bond Island was aptly named due to its starring role in the James Bond movie, “Man With the Golden Gun”. To get to the island you have to take a Thai long boat through several dense rivers, through a cavern and into the ocean. The scenery is great and there are lots of pictures to be taken but no much else aside from the throngs of tourist stalls conveniently located on the limited beach front. On the return to the mainland, we had lunch at a local seafood restaurant built on the island of Koh Pannyi, also known as the Sea Gypsy Island. The island has a whole host of these buildings essentially builts over the water and the biggest building on the island is a mosque.
