'Phang Nga Bay' is a 400 km² bay in the
Andaman Sea between the island of
Phuket and mainland of the
Malay peninsula of
southern Thailand. Since 1981 a big part of the bay is protected as the Ao Phang Nga National Park.
The most famous of the many islands in the bay is the so-called
James Bond Island, a needle formed
limestone rock in the sea, which featured in the movie ''
The Man with the Golden Gun''. Nearby villages include
Ao Luk.
