My Trip to James Bond Island, Khao Phing Kan, Thailand (Video)

This week I finally achieved a life-long dream of visiting James Bond Island, also known as Scaramanga’s base from The Man With The Golden Gun. We were given only 40 minutes to explore before the boat left, so I did my best to give you guys the tour before I had to run. Once you land, you essentially get access to 4 key areas used in the film:

1. The beach were Bond lands his sea plane
2. The ‘mushroom shaped rock’
3. The spot where they would have filmed the rock from Scaramanga’s base.
4. The beach from the pre-title sequence where Miss Anders is seen sunbathing.

Check out the video below to get the tour…

  1. Cool! Wasn’t the same island used for Tomorrow never dies as well? Just before Bond and Wai Lin set out to find the stealth chip?

    One of the ultimate Bond locations for sure and unlike most people, I really like the movie.

  5. Very cool video! TMWGG had some of the coolest locations in the series. I wonder how tall that huge peak on James Bond Island is? Looks several hundred feet at least!
