'James Bond Island'

We decided to do some touring with Sea Wolff and headed north into the Phang-Nga Bay. The first attraction was 'James Bond Island' where the movie 'Man with the Golden Gun' was filmed. Its a very popular spot. From there we moved on to the Muslim Gypsy village all built on stilts. Its really a fishing village. I gets more muddy as these are wide rivers feeding into the bay. We anchored in the muddy river with the Mangrove trees along side, then went ashore by taxi, a long tail boat, for dinner. (Thats Kirsten and I waiting for dinner) Thai green curry and rice. Before dinner we walked down the 'street' between the wooden houses. Each home has a small stall selling all the normal tourist things. In the evening the long tails bring the children back from school on the mainland.
Tried to sleep on the deck but the mosquitos were very bad!
