 to Marvin Gaye, The Smiths,  talk radio, books on tape, etc.Technically located in Phang Nga province to the north of Krabi, we include information about this trip (which can be done in a day from Krabi) as it is so popular – 007 and Bond Girl wannabes are clearly more common than we thought! Although The Man With The Golden Gun was released way back in 1974, you can still see plenty of people making like Roger Moore and Christopher Lee in front of the tiny rock of Khao Tapu, that served as Scaramanga’s hideout in the movie.
There is short trail around the island, which is worth exploring, There are a couple of small beaches, as well as incredible views from the look out points on the rocks. The entrance to Scaramanga’s lair in the movie was constructed in the passage of Khao Ping Gan, a massive slab of rock that broke off from and now leans against the cliff.
The crowds and rows of souvenir stands may tarnish the experience somewhat, but the trip is nonetheless interesting, especially if you consider the other things on the itinerary, not least the wonderful cruise through Phang Nga Bay, which has some of the most astonishing scenery in the world.
You will also visit the floating fishing village at Koh Panyi. There is a row of seafood restaurants seating hundreds, if not thousands, of tourists along the main pier where you will likely alight. After lunch, escape the endless souvenir stalls that have set up nearby (unless of course you really want to buy a shell wind-chime) and duck out towards the school and floating football pitch, directly behind. Here it is quieter and you can get a better sense of how the village lives outside of tour group hours.
Koh Phanyi, the floating village in Phang Nga
The tour – which should really be called a “Phang Nga” trip – can also be combined with other activities, such as a short kayak paddle through the mangroves.
Do note that it is a long drive from Krabi which, combined with picking up / dropping passengers off around various hotels on the group tours, can add up to a good 3 – 4 hours sitting in the minivan. There is no snorkelling or swimming available either as the water in the bay is rather murky – at low tide you will see exposed mud flats.
If you would like to take photographs beyond the usual selfies, we would highly recommend going it alone. Rent a car or take a taxi and go very early or late in the day to avoid the crowds – which come from both Krabi and Phuket – and charter a private longtail boat from the pier in Phang Nga. The boat + driver for the same itinerary costs 1500 baht for the 2 – 3 hour round trip; there is a 300 baht entry fee payable at James Bond itself (normally included on the group tours).
This is also a good side trip if travelling from Krabi to Phuket (or vice versa) as the pier is only a few kilometres from the main highway.

The itinerary for the organised James Bond Island tour, as well as the guide price, can be seen below. Contact a travel agent on site in Krabi for booking; they will also be able to sell add-ons such as elephant trekking or any other combinations they have on offer – though do note the caveats we list above.Alta Vista Blind Repairs & Services

We just got back from Italy and had the most amazing trip! We explored some of the most beautiful cities and ate some of the best gluten-free food ever! Throughout our trip, one of the most commonly asked questions I received via Direct Message was “how do we find restaurants when we travel?”. I answered so many people on Direct Message that I wanted to write a blog post about it.
Background
As background, my husband & I are both of Italian heritage and have been to Italy before, but our children had never visited. Both our boys wanted to visit and our youngest son (who has Celiac Disease) had heard so much about gluten-free pizza and pasta in Italy that his personal objective was to try as much gluten-free pizza and pasta as he could and find the best ones out there!
So the objective of this trip was both an overview or highlight of a few different parts of Italy and to find and eat the best gluten-free food!
A few caveats
Even with my tips below, it can’t be said enough… with regard to gluten-free food and cross-contamination, always check out a restaurant yourself. Restaurants charge, chefs change. And people have different comfort levels. So do your own research.
Whenever you’re dining out, you need to find restaurants that work for you and anyone you’re traveling with. So that includes not only dietary restrictions but food tastes/menu range, budget and location.
How do we choose restaurants?
If you followed my Instagram Stories while we traveled throughout Italy, you know we ate really well. Some of the best gluten-free food we’ve ever eaten. So how did we find these restaurants?
Whenever we travel, I essentially do a small research project before we leave.
1. Scoping out the options
- I start by scanning the internet for gluten-free dining possibilities at our planned destination.
- I look at blog posts by gluten-free and Celiac bloggers I trust.
- I scroll through the Find Me Gluten Free app, which isn’t 100% Celiac-safe but I read the comments and use it as a starting point.
- I make a list of restaurants that sound promising. Most times, the same restaurants start popping up.
2. Narrowing the choices
Once I have a list of possible restaurants, I see what keeps coming up. Then I search those restaurants online. I look at the overall site and at menus.
Here what I’m looking for:
- Does the menu have something that will appeal to my celiac son? He’s a teen boy with a voracious appetite, so if the only thing gluten free on the menu is salad, it won’t work for him.
- Will it have something for the rest of our family? When traveling, our personal food preferences often take a back seat to my son’s gluten-free needs but if we can all eat happily, why not?
- Does it fit our budget?
- And this is perhaps the most important question… how does the restaurant approach gluten-free? Do they have a separate menu? Is a regular menu labeled well? Do they make any statements on the menu or on their website about a commitment to gluten-free food or other dietary restrictions?
