The Man with the Golden Gun 1974
James Bond Island (Khao Phing Kan), Thailand
Khao Phing Kan rarely goes by its given name, and has been locally known as James Bond Island ever since Christopher Lee’s supervillain Scaramanga hid his ‘solex agitator’ in the limestone karst tower off its shore. Why Scaramanga also built a funhouse and hall of mirrors on the island is anyone’s guess, but it’s best not to question the logic of the Roger Moore–era Bond films too closely.
