About this audio guide
This guide to Khao Phing Kan in Phang Nga Bay opens with Ko Tapu, the impossibly narrow limestone spire that fishermen knew for centuries before a 1974 James Bond film crew arrived looking for a villain's lair. You'll hear how The Man with the Golden Gun turned the island into Scaramanga's hideout for Christopher Lee and Roger Moore, and what that changed for a bay no one outside Thailand had heard of. Take in the boulders and caves around you before the souvenir stalls pull your eye back.
