About this audio guide
This guide to Chicken Rock off Ao Nang explains how the outcrop earns its name only from one precise boat angle, and why every longtail captain slows down right at that spot. You'll hear where it fits on the four-island tour alongside Poda Island and the tidal sandbar to Tup Island, and what the four-hundred-baht marine park fee actually funds. It follows the reef life waiting just beneath the surface, from clownfish to the occasional turtle.
