Khao Phing Kan means "hills leaning against each other" in Thai,[2] reflecting the connected nature of the islands, and Ko Tapu can be literally translated as "nail" or "spike" island, reflecting its shape. With "ko" (Thai: เกาะ) meaning "island" and "khao" (Thai: เขา) meaning "hill", the terms ko, khao, and Ko Khao are frequently interchanged in the naming of the islands.[3] After appearing in the 1974 James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun, Khao Phing Kan and sometimes Ko Tapu[9] became widely referred to as James Bond Island, especially in tourist guides, and their original names are rarely used by locals.[10]
