Phang Nga Bay, a dramatic sea-formed landscape in Ao Phang Nga National Park, features towering limestone karsts that rise from emerald water. Its most famous is Koh Tapu, known worldwide as 'James Bond Island' for its appearance in The Man with the Golden Gun, which popularized the bay as a cinematic icon. The area blends rugged beauty with a sense of mystery—hidden caves, mangrove inlets, and wind-swept viewpoints that invite quiet contemplation between boat hops. Today the bay draws photographers and film fans alike, offering tranquil panoramas during the day and a cinematic ambience as the light softens at sunset.

The bay’s dramatic limestone karsts and islands represented the Wookiee home world Kashyyyk in Revenge of the Sith.
