Ko Poda

Ko Kai has two distinguishing features: the "chicken-shaped" limestone rock that gives the island its name, and that it is possible to walk from there to Ko Mo and Ko Thap during low tide. The path between the islands is truly picturesque, but typically overcrowded with longboats and tourists. Ko Kai's beach is as long as Ko Poda's, but largely covered by rocks and not particularly inviting.

The northern tip of the island is the most scenic part, due to the presence of a beautiful limestone island. Unfortunately that's also the area where the longboats stop, as well where hundreds of tourists sit to eat their tour-provided lunch boxes. A short walk from there, however, leads to the south part of the island, which is far more pleasant and quieter. Ko Poda's beach is excellent for swimming, having crystal-clear waters where one does even need snorkelling gear to spot the fish.
