Phang-Nga Bay and James Bond Island

Here are some pictures (actually quite a lot of pictures) from our Sea Canoe Adventure (organized by HIS). Sailing from Phuket, we took in the islands of Phang-Nga bay and explored the sea caves of Phanak, Hong and Ko Tapu. Ko Tapu is now known as James Bond Island because The Man with the Golden Gun (probably the most abysmal film in the Bond canon) was partly shot there. It was a great day out, and the sunbronzed wild boys on the boats who were our guides were funny, friendly and showed us a great time.

Watch out for a “walking fish” and a rock that looks like a baby elephant in this bunch:

And heeeeeerez JamesBondIsland!

And on we sailed. The wild boys whistled down some sea eagles for us. We went to another island and paddled around a bit, sometimes in a canoe and sometimes in the water. And then we went home and had dinner served by a man in a skirt, and big plate of shrimp crackers so amazingly huge I couldn’t hold the camera straight for awhile.

More pictures to come, but in the meantime just look at Lulu singing The Man With the Golden Gun! Look at her! Isn’t she AWFUL? £5 if you can sit through the whole thing.
