Ko Poda

This guide to Ko Poda near Ao Nang traces the island's shift from a quiet stop where fishermen once waited out the tide to one of the busiest anchors on Krabi's four-island tour. You'll hear how snorkelers and kayakers now share the shallows with the island's resident macaques, bold enough to raid an unattended bag. It points you toward a quieter cove on the southwest side that locals half-jokingly call the secret beach.
