When EON Productions choose Thailand to be the main setting for their ninth James Bond adventure, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (1974), they entered unexplored territory. After filming the dusty streets and dirty khlongs of Bangkok, the production moved southwards to the magical islands of Phang Nga Bay. When the movie came out, a worldwide audience saw its first glimpse of the beautiful country and overnight everything changed. "We put Phuket on the map ", director Guy Hamilton would later claim. And he was right. Clever tour operators rebranded the visually stunning Khao Phing Kan to James Bond Island and made it one of the most visited James Bond filming locations in the world. In 1997, the film makers returned to both Bangkok and Phang Nga Bay, to film exciting parts of TOMORROW NEVER DIES here.

Apart from the basic touristic information, James Bond's GUIDE TO THAILAND will give you clear directions to find all the Thai filming locations used in the two movies. With this book you can retrace all the action: From the route of Roger Moore's long tail boat through the khlongs to Pierce Brosnan's and Michelle Yeoh's motorbike chase through the narrow Bangkok alleys. From the long lost Astro Spiral Jump location in Rangsit to the impressive islands in Phang Nga National Park.

This full colour, 136 page travel guide includes general info on the country, detailed location maps, now-then comparison photos of all the locations and features a short introduction by Britt Ekland, who starred as Mary Goodnight in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN.

About the Author
Mulder, Martijn: - MARTIJN MULDER ('71) is a freelance writer, journalist and designer. In the 90s he managed to combine his passion for travel with his passion for James Bond by starting to 'collect' filming locations. A first list of 007 locations was published on the internet in 1995. It was just one single page, nothing fancy. One long list of places where filming for the Bond films had taken place, Mulder explains. He started traveling around the world, in search of the locations and to photograph them for his website, which was then called The James Bond Locations Page. After teaming up with German Dirk Kloosterboer, travel stories were written and first attempts were made to get their travel guide published. In 2008, after the untimely death of Kloosterboer, Mulder decided to self-publish the guide, which became ON THE TRACKS OF 007. In 2004, Mulder started organizing small events and tours to the locations. The people who enjoy these tours are the people who embrace the James Bond lifestyle. It's not just about visiting iconic locations, but about enjoying the posh hotels and cocktail parties as well. In 2017 he took a group of fans to Japan to celebrate the 50th anniversary of YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE and in 2019 he coordinated OHMSS50, which was the biggest cross-border 007 fan event ever, celebrating the 50th anniversary of ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE. Mulder is father of two and lives in the Netherlands.
