BUT Which one is better?

James Bond Island (Ko Tapu, which is its Thai name), which gained popularity after being featured in the James Bond movie “The Man with the Golden Gun.”

The Phi Phi Islands are known for clear turquoise waters, and beautiful beaches. The landscape is more rugged and features iconic spots like Maya Bay, which gained fame from the movie “The Beach.”2
Snorkeling and diving are popular activities in the Phi Phi Islands due to the vibrant marine life and coral reefs.
The waters are teeming with colorful fish and other underwater creatures. There’s also the opportunity to relax on the pristine beaches and explore the island’s nightlife.
While many people mistakenly believe that Phi Phi is made up of just one Island, in fact it is a group of 6 islands in total. 5 of these islands are Virgin Islands.
Maya Bay is one of the true highlights of your Phi Phi private boat tour. Maya Bay stands out as a true gem.

So which one is better?
Choosing between a private boat tour to Phi Phi Islands and one to James Bond Island in Phang Nga Bay depends on the type of experience you’re looking for. If you’re interested in beautiful beaches, vibrant marine life, and a lively atmosphere, the Phi Phi Islands might be a better choice. On the other hand, if you’re more drawn to unique limestone formations, sea caves, and a quieter environment, then the James Bond Island tour in Phang Nga Bay could be more appealing.
Both destinations offer stunning natural beauty and memorable experiences, so it ultimately comes down to your preferences.
