Places of interest within the National Park KOH PANYEE: This small island has a picturesque village, which rest precariously on small pilling and extends out across the water. It is inhabited chiefly by Muslim fisher folk, whose unique culture has existed, cut off from the main land and most modern amenities for more than a hundred years.  KHAO PING GUN: The name means literally leaning mount. It is really a huge
rock split in two the smaller half has slid down and the remaining
one appears now to be leaning. Through khao Ping Gun is a very small
island, one still smaller, Khao Tapoo or James Bond Island, is in
a little bay of Khao Ping Gun where visiting boats pull up. Tapoo
means nail, and this shoreless rock project up from the sea as it
name implies flat and wide at the top, and very narrow at waterline.
It is a striking sight. The island became more famous after the James
Bond adventure, "The Man with The Golden Gun" was partly
filmed here.TAHM LOD: Has beautiful stalagmites and stalactites KHAO PANAG: A cave with stalagmites and stalactities,where a small stepped waterfull of regular descent adds to the beautiful,is the island's salient feature.
