We will soon update the web site with a report of our cruise in Phang-Nga Bay, Thailand. In the mean time we shall provide a preview.
On Thailand’s Andaman coast, in Phang-Nga Bay, spectacular limestone islands with sheer cliffs up to 400 metres high, emerge like giant scattered teeth from calm waters. The most famous, thanks to its prominent role in the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun, is Koh Tapu, behind my back on this photo. It stands in the lagoon of Koh Phing Kan, today also known as James Bond Island.
There’s too much back light on the photo, but we have some better ones also, such as the one below, shot only a minute later. Unfortunately I’m not in front of the lens anymore.
On this beach Scaramanga’s dwarf servant Nick Nack served champagne and later Bond and Scaramanga entered the duel. The rock can actually be recognized between their heads.
Goodnight, Goodnight, sleep tight, have no fear – James Bond is here …
