Ao Phangnga National Park in the southern Phangnga province will open some attractions to welcome tourists starting on Aug 1.
The national park is located along the Andaman coastal line and north of Phuket. It oversees an area of 400km² or about 250,000 rai including islands, islets and the country s largest mangrove forests. The national park is among the top 10 popular national parks in Thailand.
To support the government s Phuket Sandbox policy, the Ao Phangnga National Park will allow visitors to visit the park s iconic site Khao Tapu, the karst islet standing tall not far from Khao Phing Kan Island. The islet was one of the shooting locations for the ninth film in the James Bond series, The Man With The Golden Gun in 1974. Thanks to the film, the islet has been known as James Bond Island ever since.
