Khao Phing Kan

Since 1974, when they were featured in the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun, Khao Phing Kan and Ko Ta Pu have been popularly called James Bond Island. In the film, Francisco Scaramanga describes Ko Ta Pu as a "mushroom-shaped rock", which houses two large solar panels that come up on top of Ko Ta Pu and lock on to the Sun. The film opens on Khao Phing Kan where we are introduced to Scaramanga (the titular character) and his henchmen Nick Nack. There are so many shots of this beautiful beach and once secluded island.

Macau, MO

lodging

Lotus Palace

In The Man with the Golden Gun, Bond goes to Macau to find the weapons and munitions manufacturer Lazar who allegedly has manufactured the golden bullets for Scaramanga. Bond is driven to Lazar's gun shop in a cycle rickshaw, but just before he arrives he passes in front of a casino called Casino de Macau. This scene was shot on location just in front of the floating casino called 'Casino Macau Palace', or 'Casino de Macau' which evidently was the name in 1974. Today, the pedal driven taxi is a tourist attraction in Macau and if you want to try one, you will probably pay about five times more than a regular taxi.

Dragon Garden

Whilst in Thailand in the film the Man with the Golden Gun, Bond first visits Hai Fat’s home which is set in Thailand, but the film location is not. The estate is actually The Dragon Garden in Hong Kong, but every scene from here onwards is set and shot in Thailand.

Ancient City

In the Man with the Golden Gun, Hai Fat’s Karate school where Bond returns to meet Hai Fat is actually Ancient City, the same outdoor museum where The Hangover Part II shot their monastery scene. It’s one of Thailand’s biggest museums as it is home so many replicas of temples and recreates life-size old-timey buildings.
