This tiny 20 metres tall rocky Islet located in the Phang Nga Bay, Thailand is officially named Ko Tapu (English meaning: Nail Islet). After release (1974) of James Bond's Movie "The Man With Golden Gun", in which this Island was used in back ground of a scene, every one started calling it James Bond Island.
