Koh Poda can get crowded from time to time as it is one of the top attractions in Krabi. If you prefer a quieter place to hang out and unwind, we suggest you walk further up the beach.
Koh Tup
When talking about Krabi, you may commonly hear about “Talay Waek” or the sandbar that links two islets: Koh Tup and Koh Kai at low tide.
As it is home to one of Thailand’s unseen highlights, Koh Tup has gained popularity from both locals and foreigners. If you are lucky, you will be able to walk across this sandy causeway.

Koh Kai (Chicken Island)
Koh Kai (Chicken Island), a neighboring island of Koh Tup, is only a 5-minute boat ride away from Koh Tup. It was named after its distinctive rock formation that resembles a chicken.
