    Very nice, I had forgotten how good even this film's music was. Bit overcrowded, but I envy you none the less.

    Cool video. I just got back from Thailand although I didn't manage to get to James Bond island. Maybe on the next trip. Out of curiousity how much Baht did it cost for the day? I guess its only possible to get there with a tour group..?

    Very nice! (: It's weird seeing the island so crowded when you have the image of this desolate place in your mind because of how it looked in TMWTGG. Interesting, nonetheless.

    A bit too overrun with tourists for my taste. People should have to pass your Ultimate Bond Quiz before being allowed entry to cut down on the riff raff ;)

    My goodness it looks timeless, you can certainly see why that was used as a location!

    It was 3500 baht for the day. That was with a lot of other islands thrown in too!

    Haha, indeed! It's so small I'm not sure why anyone would really go there if they weren't a Bond fan.

    Totally, aside from the shacks selling souvenirs, it looks identical to how it did in the film. Strangely, there wasn't any Bond related merch on sale, only one really bad t-shirt.

    I was curious about the stalls. If not Bond memorabilia, what were they selling?

    Just random tat, necklaces, bracelets, fridge magnets, that kinda thing. Really surprising, I thought there'd be Bond stuff everywhere.

    You would think it being nick named James Bond Island, they would have had plenty of things to offer tourists!!! I did look out for things whilst watching your video.

    Yeah, I thought the same thing. It's weird, if the island wasn't known as James Bond Island and you didn't know any better, you wouldn't know it was anything to do with Bond. I thought there'd at least be some stills and things to read about the film. Crazy!

    If it wasn't called James Bond island? Would anyone bother to go there anyway?!!! :))
