# Samet Nangshe and James Bond Island in One Day from Phuket? **Short answer:** None of our day trips from Phuket combines the Samet Nangshe viewpoint with a landing on James Bond island. The closest single morning is the sunrise skywalk trip: Beyond Skywalk, a different glass bridge above Phang Nga Bay, at 05:45, then a longtail past James Bond island without landing, back at the hotel around 13:00. To stand at Samet Nangshe and on the island itself, plan two separate days. ## Tours and prices in Thai baht - [Sunrise on the glass Skywalk and James Bond island](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/skywalk-sunrise) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/skywalk-sunrise.md) — One morning and early afternoon, 03:45–13:30 · Adult 2,600 THB · Child 4–9 2,300 THB - [Phang Nga and Samet Nangshe: viewpoint, mangroves and an elephant spa](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/phang-nga-samet) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/phang-nga-samet.md) — One day, 06:30–17:30 · Adult 2,050 THB · Child 4–9 1,650 THB - [James Bond island and Phang Nga Bay](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/james-bond-island-phang-nga) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/james-bond-island-phang-nga.md) — Eight to nine hours · Adult 2,000 THB · Child 4–9 1,800 THB - [Phang Nga and the Samet Nangshe glass skywalk](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/phang-nga-skywalk) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/phang-nga-skywalk.md) — One day, 06:30–18:00 · Adult 2,650 THB · Child 4–9 2,400 THB - [Eleven islands in one day: Phang Nga, Hong and Phi Phi](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/eleven-islands-mega) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/eleven-islands-mega.md) — One day, twelve hours or more · Adult 4,200 THB · Child 4–9 3,800 THB Prices come straight from our booking system. Children under four join free on most trips — each tour page says so. ## What each of our Phang Nga days covers Phang Nga Bay is one bay, but our trips see it from different places at different hours. Here is who goes where. - Samet Nangshe viewpoint at 08:40, no James Bond island — Phang Nga and Samet Nangshe, and its glass-skywalk twin - Landing on James Bond island at 11:30, no viewpoint — the James Bond island longtail day - Beyond Skywalk at sunrise, James Bond island from the boat — the sunrise skywalk trip - Landing on James Bond island at 10:20, then Krabi and Phi Phi — the eleven-islands day - Samet Nangshe with lunch at 13:30 — the elephant beach and Mantra Spa day ## The Samet Nangshe days Pickup at 06:30, and a pickup truck takes you up to the viewpoint for 08:40. Then Suwan Kuha cave temple at 10:30, the Black Monk statue, a longtail through the mangroves at 11:20, the sea gypsy floating village and a seafood lunch at noon. The elephant spa follows at 13:40, every activity included, then a waterfall and the airplane beach at Mai Khao, leaving at 17:30. The longtail here runs through mangroves near the village. James Bond island isn't in either itinerary, and neither is it on the three other trips that stop at Samet Nangshe: the Cheow Lan lake day at 08:00, the Avatar world day at 13:00 and the elephant beach day at 13:30, and none of them goes on to James Bond island. The [glass-skywalk version](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/phang-nga-skywalk) follows the same route and adds coffee and dessert on the glass at the top. The Avatar world day, from the lily café at 08:30 to the hot pools at Natai, is reviewed hour by hour on [is the Avatar world tour worth it](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/avatar-world-tour-worth-it). If you can only fit one of them, [Samet Nangshe or James Bond island: which Phang Nga day](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/phang-nga-samet-or-james-bond-island) helps you choose. ## The James Bond island day Pickup 07:30–08:00 and an hour and a half by road to Phang Nga. The longtail leaves at 09:30, threads through the limestone towers and lands on James Bond island at 11:30 for an hour of photos by Ko Tapu. Sea kayaking in the caves from 12:30, lunch over the water at 14:00, Koh Panyi at 15:00, the pier at 16:30 and Phuket around 18:00. No viewpoint on this one; the bay is seen from water level all day. The eleven-islands day also lands on James Bond island, at 10:20 by speedboat after Panak and the Ice Cream Cave, but it then runs on to Talu, Panyi, Lao Lading, Hong island and Phi Phi and is back at the hotel around 20:00, again without a viewpoint. Booking steps and pickup details are on [how to book a James Bond island tour](https://phukeo.com/en/faq/how-to-book-james-bond-island-tour). ## The nearest thing in one morning The sunrise skywalk trip. Pickup at 03:45, Beyond Skywalk at 05:45, the sun up around 06:15 and a buffet breakfast at the restaurant on top at 06:45. At 08:00 a longtail takes you through the caves and islands of the bay, past James Bond island, without landing. Back on Phuket at 09:30, the airplane beach at 10:30, a lily café at 12:30, home around 13:00. Beyond Skywalk isn't Samet Nangshe, though the view is over the same bay. If the name matters to you, [Samet Nangshe or Beyond Skywalk](https://phukeo.com/en/faq/samet-nangshe-vs-beyond-skywalk) sets the two side by side. For the elephant beach day that ends in Mantra Spa's pools, see [is the elephant beach and spa day worth it](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/elephant-beach-and-mantra-spa-worth-it). ## Doing both, on two days Take a Samet Nangshe day and the James Bond island day, with a beach day between if you can. Both start early and end in the evening, and two long drives north in a row is a lot. I'd put the viewpoint first. From above you see how the islands sit in the bay, and the next day on the longtail you recognise them. Want Samet Nangshe at a different hour? [Samet Nangshe at sunrise or in the afternoon](https://phukeo.com/en/faq/samet-nangshe-sunrise-or-afternoon) lists the five trips that stop there and when. If Khao Sok's lake is on your list, read [is the Cheow Lan lake day trip worth it](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/cheow-lan-lake-day-trip-worth-it) before you book. ## Two-day trips that land on James Bond island Four Pearls lands on James Bond island at 10:10 on day one and Five Pearls at 10:00, both after Panak island and before canoeing at Talu, and both sleep on Phi Phi Don. Neither goes to Samet Nangshe. How they differ is on [Five Pearls or Four Pearls](https://phukeo.com/en/faq/five-pearls-or-four-pearls). Which of the two jungle days suits you, the Khao Lak safari or the Avatar world, is the subject of [this side-by-side](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/khao-lak-safari-or-avatar-world). Five Pearls, with its landing at 10:00 on day one, is weighed on [is the Five Pearls two-day tour worth it](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/five-pearls-two-day-tour-worth-it). ## Before you book Children aged 4 to 9 pay the child price on all these trips, and on the James Bond island day under-fours travel free. Temples on the Samet Nangshe days need shoulders and knees covered; cover-ups can be hired for a small fee. Every tour in our catalogue runs with an English-speaking guide. Send the trips, the dates and your hotel in the chat. Payment is agreed there after we confirm; ask about cancellation terms at the same time. ## Worth knowing For both places with a landing, book two separate days. The sunrise skywalk is the one-morning version, and it sees James Bond island from the boat. ## FAQ ### Can I visit Samet Nangshe and James Bond island in one day? Not on our trips with a landing. The sunrise skywalk trip gives you a glass bridge over the bay and passes James Bond island by longtail; for both places with a landing, plan two days. ### Does the Phang Nga and Samet Nangshe tour include James Bond island? No. It has a longtail ride through the mangroves and the floating village, but James Bond island is not in the itinerary. ### Does the sunrise skywalk trip land on James Bond island? No. At 08:00 the longtail passes the island and the caves of the bay without landing, and you are back at the hotel around 13:00. ### Is Beyond Skywalk the same as Samet Nangshe? No. Both look over Phang Nga Bay, but they are different viewpoints. Beyond Skywalk is on the sunrise trip; Samet Nangshe is on the Phang Nga days. ### Which of your trips land on James Bond island? The longtail day at 11:30, the eleven-islands day at 10:20, and the Four Pearls and Five Pearls two-day trips on day one. ### Which should I do first? The viewpoint. Seeing the bay from above first makes the longtail day easier to follow, because you recognise the islands from the water. ### How do I book the Eleven islands in one day tour from Phuket? Send the date, your hotel and everyone's ages in WhatsApp. Pickup is at 06:00, the boat lands on James Bond island at 10:20, then goes on to Hong island and Phi Phi, and you're back at the hotel around 20:00. Keep that evening free. We confirm the exact pickup time for your hotel. ## Compare with - [Samet Nangshe Viewpoint Tours from Phuket](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/samet-nangshe-viewpoint) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/samet-nangshe-viewpoint.md) - [James Bond Island Tours from Phuket and Phang Nga Bay](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/james-bond-island-tours) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/james-bond-island-tours.md) - [Samet Nangshe Viewpoint or Beyond Skywalk from Phuket: What Is the Difference?](https://phukeo.com/en/faq/samet-nangshe-vs-beyond-skywalk) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/faq/samet-nangshe-vs-beyond-skywalk.md) - [All tours](https://phukeo.com/en/tours) ## How to book [Ask about dates on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/66619490349?text=Hello!%20I%20found%20you%20on%20phukeo.com%20and%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20%22Samet%20Nangshe%20and%20James%20Bond%22.%20My%20dates%3A%20) --- Canonical: https://phukeo.com/en/faq/samet-nangshe-and-james-bond-one-day
