A private longtail boat tour in Phang Nga with Ko Tapu Bond photos and Koh Panyi’s floating village, best done in the afternoon.
“Overall pretty good in spite of a 15 mins wait period in the beginning (which is actually mentioned in the booking but I missed the subtext!). We saw the James Bond Island from afar and did not get off the boat as it felt a bit overrated and busy, but that’s nothing to do with the travel company. Having said that, because the tour was private, it gave us the flexibility to decide what we wanted to do. We had a really good time experiencing Koh Panyi as that was quite intriguing. Overall, a good experience!”

“Our tour guide, Moo, was absolutely amazing! The tour was great, but Moo made it really special. I sprained my ankle getting into the long boat (not the boat’s fault, I’m just clumsy), and he was so wonderful. He immediately got some cold water bottles to put on my ankle and at the first stop, got me ice, a wrap, and some tiger balm. Since I couldn’t get out of the boat to tour James Bond island and the floating village, he arranged for the boat driver to boat my wife and I around the island and point out pretty places to take pictures and he even took some pictures…”
