Holiday was just over, that fast, always. But it was a long time waiting on those days. But paid off by the trip. I've gone to Thailand before, but this is the first time that the plane landed me to Phuket. A gorgeous place to visit! Unfortunately i visit for four days only but i really enjoy every seconds of it. I will really appreciate if i were given the next chance to have another islands trip. Take a look!

James Bond Island is a famous landmark in Phang Nga Bay. It first found its way onto the international tourist map through its starring role in the James Bond movie 'The Man with the Golden Gun'. A distinctive feature of this famous bay is the number of sheer limestone cliffs that vertically jut out of the emerald-green water.
James Bond Island, with its signature rocky pinnacle, has been a major attraction ever since it featured in the 1974 Bond movie. Luckily it is under national park protection and as a result no boats of any kind are allowed to go too close to the island because of its precarious position – big on the upper part and relatively slim at the bottom. The two best ways to view James Bond Island are from boats or from the small beach on Koh Ping Ghan.

The Phi Phi Islands are in Thailand, between the large island of Phuket and the west Strait of Malacca coast of the mainland. The islands are part of Krabi province. Koh Phi Phi Don is the largest island of the group, and is the most populated island of the group.The islands came to worldwide prominence when Koh Phi Phi Leh was used as a location for the 2000 British-American film The Beach. Koh Phi Phi an island on the Andaman Sea in the southernmost part of Thailand, was one of the worst-hit areas in the December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, when nearly all of the island's infrastructure was destroyed. On 26 December 2004, much of the inhabited part of Phi Phi Don was devastated by the Indian Ocean tsunami. At the time of the tsunami, the island had an estimated 10,000 occupants, including tourists. After the tsunami, approximately 70% of the buildings on the island had been destroyed. By the end of July 2005, an estimated 850 bodies had been recovered, and an estimated 1,200 people were still missing. In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, the island was evacuated. The Thai government declared the island temporarily closed while a new zoning policy was drawn up. As of 6 December 2005, nearly 1,500 hotel rooms were open, and a tsunami early-warning alarm system had been installed by the Thai government with the help of volunteers.
